Polar bears

As kids, we love seeing fluffy cuddley creatures, for example, koalas, baby kittens, dogs, and Polar bears. Everyone knows what a Polar bear is! A giant white bear that lives in the arctic and swims, just like any other bear but in the freezing cold. Now, imagine our kids and grandkids not even knowing what a Polar bear is. This terrible tragedy is happening, Polar bears are becoming extinct, before we even realize it they will be gone.


Machines, factories, polution, global warming.- We all hear about how bad these things are, we know they can affect us but no one really sees it. Well, thanks to Global warming and pollution, it is melting the tectonic plates under the arctic which is causing these large pieces of ice that the bears live on to melt. This means no home, no shelter for these poor animals. as it says right here stated from http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/ "Floods. Droughts. Heat waves. Monster wildfires. Climate change is not just about polar bears, the iconic symbol of a melting Arctic. Global warming affects the entire planet."

Sea ice losses in the Arctic from global warming are the major threat to polar bears. Polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting, breeding, and in some cases, denning. In 2012, summer ice losses in the Arctic were larger than the size of the United States. Biologists estimate there are 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears. About 60% of those live in Canada. Polar bears are also found in the U.S. (Alaska), Russia, Greenland.

Can you imagine a life without these beautiful creatures? How would you we feel, if when we go to the zoo and see no Polar bears there? What if we  never get to hear from a child saying, "Wow! mommy what's that?" I know it's hard to think about but in reality it's our fault. We are the ones that cause global warming and pollution, they affect us too! So I don"t see a reason why no one can help it.

Catching Fire

Right now I am reading catching fire, a series from The Hunger Games.
This book is a great read about love, action, and Man vs. Society. So in the book right now, Pita and Katniss have to go back into the games because Gale was being wipped and katniss came in to save him, which she isn't supposed to do. So now they are doing a reaping, the capital, at every district but, the people that can be reaped are already winners of the games and have to do it again, even though they were garuanteed a life of wealth and happiness.


This is an extremely well writen book and they recently created a movie to go along with it! If you haven't seen it I would check it out because it matches this book so far perfectly, rather than the first Hunger games which missed out on a lot of little parts. This book is filled with lots of love and heart break, which is even more the reason I love it so much. Here is the trailer for this movie:
