Back to the Arctic to Save the Polar Bear

[Guest guest]

Dear animal activist,

The arctic explorers are back, and this time they have a stronger

agenda: they are dedicating their trip to saving the polar bear. Read

below for more info and to take action!

Remember us? We're Lonnie and Eric, the two explorers who attempted to

cross the Arctic last summer. We faced some of the most intense weather

conditions on Earth, and ice floes actually pushed us backwards for

some of our journey. After, 23 grueling days, we had to make one of the

toughest calls we've ever made: we were airlifted off the ice.

 

Well, this summer, we're baaack...Come on, you didn't think we'd given

up did you?

 

In just two weeks, we're starting over. But you can see us live this

Thursday night on the TONIGHT SHOW. Tune in at 11:30 (or record us if

you need to get up early) to hear our stories from last year's journey

and learn more about what we'll be facing in the coming weeks.

 

A lot has changed over the last year. Global warming has gone

mainstream: even the media is acknowledging it's real. And it's not

some future event, it's happening now, and faster than scientists had

predicted. In fact, we're already seeing some of the devastating

impacts.

 

We're dedicating our expedition this year to saving the polar bear.

Polar bears have become a symbol of global warming, and as their

habitat literally melts under their feet, polar bears are falling

victim to starvation and even drowning. If something isn't done to stop

global warming now, we may lose the polar bear forever.

Take

Action! Tell the Fish and Wildlife Service to protect polar bears as an

endangered species.

So don't forget to tune in this Thursday night - it'd be nice to know

we have some friends in the viewing audience. And you'll be hearing

from us again soon.

 

Your friendly neighborhood explorers,

 

Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen

 

p.s. Just in time for Earth Day, we're launching a new web site to go

along with our new expedition. You can follow our journey, read our

blogs, and see pictures of what we're trying to save. Stay tuned!
