Week in the Arctic

Week in the Arctic

After reading about a polar bear expedition in a magazine cover story, I decide to book the trip of a lifetime with The Great Bear Foundation. That was in June 2008 - and by November, I was on an epic adventure led by Dr. Charles Jonkel. I spent 5 days sharing the ice with polar bears, arctic fox, arctic hare, and an amazing group of people. Polar bears are magnificent creatures and these stories provide a glimpse into their natural habitat, the impact of climate change, and ways in which we can help!

Hello OurPlanet!
Happy '09! We should b seein sum major changes this yr!
I was just lettin u guys now tht im gonna start bein more green than ever this yr! Im goin to get a hair cut soon that requires a lot of style and care 2 it and that deals w/ our planet... the hairspray, the blow dryin, and the washing. So ive decided wat i'll do is find earth friendly hair products, take like 5 min showers, and also the hair style shouldnt take that long to blow dry b/c its short. So i'll remember 2 b earth friendly while im takin care of my hair! I was hopin some1 knew wat hair products that were earth friendly... duz any1 know at all?

Thank you and have a earth-friendly '09,
Lauren :)

Hey, even the Huffington Post is going green! Check the 12/31 issue, 4 green predictions for 2009. And be sure and read "our favorite 'Silver Lining' prediction", right after the numbered 4 items...click on "cause kids to play more in nature". It's a thoughtful, brief commentary on the UPside of a down economy by Lee Welles, author of the "Gaia Girls" book series.
