Join Greenpeace and Explorers in the Arctic

[Guest guest]

Join Greenpeace and Explorers in the Arctic

 

Beginning in May, Arctic explorers Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen will brave

shifting sea ice and frigid stretches of open-ocean on the first unassisted

summer crossing of the Arctic Ocean. Partnering with Greenpeace’s Project

Thin Ice, Lonnie and Eric will document the real and dramatic impacts of

global warming.

 

While you may not be able to join Eric and Lonnie there are steps you can

take to fight global warming like telling President Bush to keep up with

Russia and the rest of the world by cutting the U.S.’ global warming

pollution at www.projectthinice.org/contest. When you sign up for updates

and to join the fight to put an end to global warming you could win:

 

· A trip on a Greenpeace ship tour

· A trip for two to the Amazon Rainforest

· Whitewater rafting in Costa Rica, or

· A year’s supply of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream

 

The North Pole is melting away. Up to twenty percent of the Arctic sea-ice

that once covered the Arctic Ocean in the summer months has melted in recent

decades due to global warming. Every spring and summer polar bears and their

young cubs rely on stable sea-ice to roam out over the ocean in search of

food that are key to their survival. Scientists fear that unless we take

bold steps to stop global warming now the polar bear could face extinction

by mid-century.
