Polar bears
Did you know that sea ice is just frozen ocean water? Unlike icebergs, glaciers, and ice shelves that form on land before they float in the ocean, sea ice forms, grows, and melts entirely in the ocean. And for polar bears, home is where the Arctic sea ice is.
Climate change is threatening the sea ice polar bears need to survive and plastics emit greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change at every stage of their life cycle. In fact, plastics are one of the world’s most significant and rapidly growing sources of industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
