The majestic polar bear isn't just an arctic icon -- it's a critical component of the arctic ecosystem. But as climate change is melting their hunting ground, many are starving and forced to swim extreme distances between ice floes. Two-thirds of the world's polar bears could be lost in as few as 35 years. If we do nothing to change the path we're on, they could be wiped out.
The best way to protect them is to limit carbon pollution and stop climate change, through policies like the EPA's Clean Power Plan. But Congress has made attacking the plan a top priority -- despite overwhelming public support for climate action.
Help protect polar bears. Tell Congress to let the EPA do its job, and to support strong climate standards.
Dear [Decision Maker],
I strongly support EPA's efforts to limit industrial carbon pollution from existing power plants, the largest source of pollution in our country. I know that some in Congress will be attacking these attempts, but I ask you to stand with the environment, on the right side of history.
Fossil fuel burning power plants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in our nation and one of the largest in the world. And it's NOT responsible for the U.S. to have NO limits on carbon pollution from power plants!
EPA's efforts to limit dangerous carbon pollution from power plants will protect public health, fight climate change, and help our economy by sparking innovation in clean energy technologies.

Our communities, our families and our children are counting on your leadership. Please support strong limits on carbon pollution from America's existing power plants.
Sincerely, [Your name here]
