    Feb. 27: International Polar Bear Day

    It’s the coldest time of the year, so while you’re cursing the snow that’s making you late for work, take a moment to remember the animals that love the cold and could use a little more of it. Everyone loves polar bears because they’re cute, majestic, ferocious and unique all at once. So it’s no wonder they’ve become the most prominent symbol for the threat of global warming, which is destroying polar bears’ habitat and threatening to wipe out the species. While you’re celebrating these imperiled animals on their national holiday, consider what you can do to help save them.
