Greenpeace - :

“As the planet heats up, polar bears have found themselves in hot water. That”s because the sea ice the bears depend on to hunt is melting, and the polar bear is now threatened with extinction. Polar bears have survived for centuries in one the harshest climates on Earth, but they may not survive to the end of this century if current global warming trends continue.”

Please help! - you can raise awareness of this specific issue, and all sorts of other things that are generally environmental ..

e.g. a few tips -
In the bathroom:

  • install water saving devices for your taps and showers. energy saving shower heads can save up to 20 percent of hot water usage - and cut your electricity bills. A faucet aerator will reduce the flow without reducing the water pressure.
  • don”t leave the tap running while brushing your teeth or shaving.
  • a shower (about 10 minutes) uses 2/3 the amount of water as a bath - and have shorter showers!

we can also try to minimize the amount of water we waste around the house. for example, instead of chucking a lukewarm glass of water down the sink - collect it and at the end of the day you can use it to water your garden/outdoor plants etc.

Activists have set up a blockade of Kimberly-Clark’s factory in Canada. * the folks who make Kleenex* They’re stopping all shipments of ancient forest products in or out of the factory, and they’ve hung a large banner that reads, “Kimberly-Clark & Kleenex: Stop destroying the Boreal Forest.”

Please help Greenpeace spread the message.

Act Now >> Greenpeace have obtained the direct phone number to Kimberly-Clark CEO Thomas Falk’s office, and they want you to call him and deliver this message: “Stop destroying ancient forests and start using recycled content in your tissue products.

they’ve had some good news, the campaign against Kimberley-Clark has been going for a year and this week, American University in Washington, D.C. wrote a letter to the CEO of Kimberly-Clark announcing that the University will not purchase Kimberly-Clark’s products until they stop destroying ancient forests for tissue paper.
