I love Polar Bears

Umm. No.  Sorry.  Not this kind…

More like this kind…

And the funny thing is, as much as I love these rolley polley real life cartoon characters, I can’t go see them at the zoo.  Don’t know what it is but the Zoo just creeps me out. (sorry to all the Zoo Keepers)

I have a plan though.  I’m going to go see them (IRL) in real life.  Call it a “bucket list” if you like, but I will someday hop on my bike, and ride to Alaska (no joke).  The trip is almost 8,000 miles there and back.  No polished highways, it’s camping and dirt roads.  Bring what gas you need because gas stations are few and far between.

So when http://www.blogactionday.org announced the topic this year was going to be Climate Change I knew exactly what my focus was on.

You may have read in the news that in a very short period of time the Polar Bear’s natural habitat may be down to nil.  You may also have read that the whole global warming thing is a hoax.

Believe in the theory of Global Warming or not, is there really any harm in making an effort to reduce greenhouse gases, switching to greener cars, and driving the technology for alternative energy sources?
