Our Mission

These days the best way to teach kids is though apps. With rising global temperatures and an ever increasing shore line, we made this game to teach the public of the effects of global warming, specifically the effects on polar bears.

Facts

Scienctist predict that as the Arctic continues to warm, two thirds of the world's polar bears could dissapear within this century.

If everyone lived the way people do in the U.S., it would take five planet Earths to provide enough resources for everyone.

Just five countries - including the United States - create more than 50% of the global carbon dioxide emissions.

In 2010, the world produced nearly 34 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring.
Facts Cont.

Polar bears aren't the only species being threatened by global warming! Reindeer, penguins, and coldwater fish are harmed as well.

2014 was the world's hottest year on record. The average global sea level is expected to rise 7-23 inches before the end of this century.

Polar bears rely on the sea ice to hunt for seals. However, as the earth gets warmer, ice melts, making it harder to find food. The bears have turned to other food sources, such as bird eggs, but this is not enough.
