We all saw the animation of a lost and drowning polar bear in An Inconvenient Truth... unfortunately that problem is not going away - this article in the Times reminded me that Al Gore's cartoon was not a worst case scenario - it's already happening. I encourage all who are able to make a donation to one of the organizations that are lobbying to establish more protection for polar bears threatened by climate change, or even to write to your representative. I don't pretend to think that that fixes everything, or that there is no corruption within organizations accepting donations, or that most politicians really care that much, but lots of people doing little things will add up.
Above all, we should all be riding around on bikes, walking, and using public transportation as much as possible.
A few ideas:
The WWF
Polar Bear SOS - Leo DiCaprio got some flack for 'wasting paper' to save bears on this project, but I believe that most conservation organisations send too much mail - something to be worked on
Greenpeace
