A starving polar bear
This campaign, The Melting of The Poles, aims at putting in the spotlight the issue of the reduction, each year, of the ice sheet covering the Artic ocean which jeopardises the survival of animal species such as polar bears.
It will also highlight how faster the Antartica has been melting in the recent years and what does that mean for all of us.
This campaign will bring you the facts about these issues as well as giving you concrete and immediate actions you can take to be part of the much needed collective effort to tackle them.

The facts
The Antarctic has registered a temperature of more than 20C (68F) for the first time on record - a full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8C taken on Signy Island in January 1982.
THE GUARDIANScientists estimate that if current forecasts are correct about the future extent of sea ice, then two-thirds of the polar bear population will become extinct by 2050.
WWFA billion toothbrushes will be thrown away in the U.S. alone this year, most of them plastic. The majority will end up in landfills or in our oceans and destroy marine wildlife.
The Environmental Medium Toothbrush

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN
£90 is what Pierrick’s awesome featured print will cost you but above all what will be given to his chosen charity – Greenpeace.
Here is what Pierrick has to say about it all –
“Greenhouses gases are a real issue to tackle climate change and has an already visible effect – the Poles are melting.
Reducing your meat consumption, switch to electric cars or just switch off your computer overnight will make a difference.
I support Greenpeace in their relentless green watch over governments and corporations and their fight to preserve our wildlife and environement”
Pierrick
