Its winter time! And I’m sure many people are thinking of many adorable winter animals, such as Reindeer, Polar Bears, Snow Leopards, Sea Otters, and Walruses!

Did you know that only 22,000 – 31,000 polar bears remain?

Well, its true! These polar bears are estimated to be extinct in 2050 if humans keep up with greenhouse gas.

-Generating electricity and heat with fossil fuels, causes climate change. Only a quarter of electricity comes from renewable sources (Which does not cause climate change).

-Manufacturing and industry produce emissions use fossil fuels, causing climate change

-Industrial processes release gas, causing climate change

-When cutting down forests they release the carbon they have been holding, causing emissions, = Climate change

-Most cars, trucks, ships, run on fossil fuels, causing climate change

-When making food, farm equipment is needed, (most is powered by fossil fuels!) which causes climate change!

-Commercial buildings take up half the electricity! So, Climate change!

Is it worth it?

And that Climate change, causes polar bear habitat loss.

The Arctic is warming 3x as fast as average. Because of the loss of the ice, polar bears have loss of prey, seals. Causing some of them to not have a healthy diet.

How to prevent polar bear population decreasing?

We can try to not use a lot of electricity, but it is really hard. Electric cars can be expensive for a lot of people

However there are little things we can do.

• Lower your heat and cooling
• Use LED light bulbs
• Use energy-efficient electric appliances
• When your going to the park, ride a bike or walk, its good for you and preventing climate change
• Eating less meat and dairy can result in less climate change, because producing plant-based foods does not use as much greenhouse gas emissions!
• Try to lower the amount of flight travel
• Throw away less food
• Reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle!

This text shows that,

What we do does have a huge impact on polar bears, although it is difficult to prevent, we still can do little things to help!

We have to support polar bear’s right to,

be considered, and helped out even by humans.
