Polar Pandemic!

“Stop global warming!” I’m sure you hear this a lot, but do you actually know what global warming is? Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. Global warming wraps around the world like a blanket, especially the arctic regions like Antarctica where animals like polar bears and seals are struggling to survive. Though polar bears aren’t critically endangered they’re still vulnerable to high risk of extinction if we don’t take action to try and protect animals like polar bears, and the environment. Global warming also increases chances of flooding droughts and other naturally occurring storms. Hurricanes could also increase and could also be more damaging when they do.

I got concerned about global warming when I was in 7th grade and since then I’ve tried to make a difference by recycling more and buying environmentally safe products. I believe that we can all make a difference if we just give it a shot. We just need to take the time to put in our fair share. Throw away some litter found on the street, or recycle some clean empty pop cans, and take a cold shower once in awhile. If we all pitched in, we can make a difference and save those polar bears from extinction. We could even protect the world from deadly hurricanes, floods and droughts.
