Hello Friends,
Lots of people think the whales were saved in the seventies. An international moratorium on commercial whaling was achieved and put into force in 1986, representing a major victory for ecology that saved many whale species from imminent extinction. What most people don’t know is that since 1986, about 25,000 whales have been hunted and killed, then sold for meat in Japan, Norway, and Iceland. These countries have used loopholes and exceptions in international law to continue commercial whaling despite the moratorium. Japan is now spearheading an effort to overturn the commercial whaling ban, and this year’s meeting of the International Whaling Commission in May will be critically important for the fate of the whales.
The US government is in a strong position to help the whales, but seems to have forgotten that the US is strongly pro-whale: We must take action to preserve the international moratorium on commercial whaling!
Take Action!
To help raise public awareness and build pressure leading up to the IWC meeting in May, Greenpeace is organizing bake sales across the US on April 28 and 29. The idea is to lure people to a table loaded with sticky sweetness, let them know what’s happening with the whales, and generate lots of petitions and telephone calls to targeted US officials.
We’re sending folks a free kit with factsheets, petitions, phone nubers and… whale shaped cookie cutters: everything you need to hold an effective event.
Host a bakesale! Grab some friends, bake some cookies, cakes, pies, and do something sweet for the whales.
Do it for the whales!
Peace,
ERIK

As global warming changes the planet’s climate system, polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. Habitat for polar bears is literally melting out from under them. The last two years were the worst ever recorded for sea ice loss, and if current trends continue, the Arctic will be ice free in summer by 2040. Polar bears live solely in the Arctic and won’t survive without sea ice.
Scientists now believe the Polar Bear could be extinct by 2050 if we do not stop global warming. Many other species will follow.
To save the polar bear, we have to act now. Responding to a successful lawsuit filed by Greenpeace and other organizations, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now considering listing the polar bear as a threatened species. They have asked for public comments and, naturally, they need to hear from us.
Take Action!
Time is running out. There's still a long way to go before the polar bear is officially listed as threatened, and then the government must take action to protect them. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Please continue fighting with us as we work to save the polar bears, the Arctic environment, and our planet’s climate system!
Peace!
