Save the Polar Bears!

The polar bear lives on the large floating ice masses in the Arctic that are now melting away as a direct result of Global Warming, which will in the end, prove disastrous for the world's largest bear. Polar Bears are dieing everyday due to drownings, cannibalism, starvation, and the loss of dens, which is all caused by the lack of resources with the ice quickly melting. The Arctic ice cap has shrunk 100 million square miles over the past 30 years and more than 25% of the total population of the world's polar bears are in decline, something has to be done today.  One way to help the declining numbers is to support the Natural Resources Defense Council(NRDC), who are working on passing a bill that will ban oil and gas in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas until the polar bears are protected. You can also adopt a polar bear which will keep you updated on the facts about polar bears and the funds go directly to the cause of rescuing the polar bears from extinction one of the many sites to adopt here is one: http://worldanimalfoundation.homestead.com/AdoptAPolarBear.html. Make the change, save the polar bears!

Save Darfur

The crisis in Darfur is the first genocide of the twenty-first century. Over 400,000 civilians have died, 150,000 from violence. 2,500,000 people have been forced to leave their homes or have fled to displacement camps. In the displacement camps people continue to suffer from violence, murder, rape, and unacceptable  living conditions. Many people in Darfur are still out of the reach of help even though there are over 14,000 aid workers in Darfur right now helping out. One way you can help right now is to donate money for Darfur, one of the thousands of websites that offers donations is http://www.savedarfur.org/content. Obviously another way to help out is to become an aid worker, physically helping out in Darfur.
