What are we doing to the place we call home? Developing and changing is good, but what about the effect? Earth is the one place we can live. It's not like a cell phone or computer. If we break it we can't go buy a new one. Before there were cars. Before there were computers. Before there was technology. I bet that the air wasn't polluted. Families knew what was going on in each other's lives. The Earth movie featured a polar bear. He was father of two adorable baby polar bears (I think they're called cubs...maybe). Well Mr. polar bear was out searching for food. He couldn't find any. Do you want to know why? Two words, GLOBAL WARMING. The ice was melting and he couldn't find a good place to hunt for seals. He swam and swam. And then I'm not going to tell you what happened because you might want to see the movie. I've heard that polar bears only have a little while until all of the ice melts. If all of the ice melts the polar bears will have no where to live. To try to help save the polar bears (and the earth). Try a couple of these tips: (They also will help you get to know your family better. They may also even save you a little money.)
