Instructions
Discourage the commercial trade in polar bears, by refusing to purchase products made from polar bear hide and other parts such as rugs and trophies. Assert your solidarity for polar bears by joining organizations that oppose commercial trading in polar bears, including Humane Society International, Defenders of Wildlife, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Join the "Adopt A Polar Bear" program of organizations like WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and Defenders of Wildlife. Adoption kits include a variety of gift item options, the proceeds of which support efforts to save the polar bear.
Reduce your carbon footprint by only purchasing products that are produced locally. Do not buy products that are not local, as transporting consumer products consumes energy and contributes to global warming and melting Arctic ice.
Incorporate energy-saving measures at home and work, and educate family, friends and colleagues to do the same. Use energy-efficient light bulbs, avoid battery-operated devices, and conserve resources like water, electricity and fuel.
