Hi All,
Welcome to my Polar Bear Plunge Page!
I really appreciate your time in checking this out. I've been involved with CCAN for several years now, albeit peripherally. I had wanted to "take the plunge" last year, but I had family obligations. This year, my daughter will be joining me at the event, hopefully waiting out of the water with some warm blankets!
If you agree with me that Global Warming or Climate Change are an issue that could negatively affect us, our kids and their kids for generations to come if we don't do more NOW, please make a donation to support this awareness building event and the work it supports. Glaciers are melting, species are becoming extinct and we've had an awfully warm winter. Just think what will happen if the Keeling (CO2) curve continues to rise as it has and the resulting rises in temperature.
Meanwhile, remember to turn off the lights and appliances when you aren't using them, turn down the thermostat, buy Energy Star or solar appliances, LEDs or CFLs for lights, and carpool, bike or ride public transportation. Whatever we can do to reduce our energy consumption today will bide us some time. Recycling everything you can and buying recycled or used items will also help. Wish me luck with my 3-month "buying nothing new" effort that starts in January.
Thank you so much and Happy Holidays!
Lisa
