Happy holidays to everyone, and wishes for a wonderful 2009. And here's hoping for a greener 2009 and more help for the polar bears.
As we come to the end of this year, we look back at all that has happened. Polar bears were listed on the Endangered Species list, and we have seen a lot more in the news about climate change than ever before. We are hopeful that people are finally starting to open their eyes.
We also look back on Project Polar Bear, and feel grateful to have been a part of it. We tried our best, and are proud to announce that our total amount of CO2 saved for the next year is 15,636,300 pounds.
We are also proud to tell you that we are not finished. There are many large groups that are planning to make a pledge, including our local energy provider, Louisville Gas and Electric, and the Archdiocese of Louisville. We will be keeping our website up and running, and hope to get many more pledges.
The Year of the Polar Bear might be over, but we're not finished. We have a lot more planned in 2009 to educate everyone on the plight of the bears, and to get them to take action.
So please follow our project as it continues on our website. Please join us, and make your own pledge.
Thank you to Polar Bears International for this wonderful project and opportunity. As always, you are all that we aspire to be.
Sincerely,
Emily Goldstein and Brandie Farkas
