My learning about Polar Ice Caps

My learning about Polar Ice Caps

This term we have been learning about how we can use our voice to help the environment. In reading we are reading articles about ways the environment is getting worse, and how we can help it. So far we have read about, Climate change, Wind farms, Carbon foot, Hybrids, and Going green.

This week, we read about What Polar ice caps are. We read that they are melting and that the animals homes are getting destroyed because of that. It made me feel really sad because our lives don't have any more value then their's. And I know that I wouldn't like it if I lost my family because of humans.

These are the new thing I have learned about Polar Ice Caps,

• When temperatures rise, the Polar ice caps are starting to melt and break apart.
• Satellite photos show that 9 percent of the of the Polar ice caps are shrinking every 10 years
• Some communities have begun to use renewable resources, such as solar energy (from the Sun) and wind power.

This has helped me to understand more what Polar Ice Caps are and how when they melt it is bad for our environment.         

Can you do anything to help save the environment? Because there is no other place to go to.
