Happy Christmas! Welcome to Save the North Pole. This annual Christmas Campaign run by Little Green Space aims to tackle climate change by raising awareness and by supporting positive projects in the UK and overseas. Why a Christmas campaign? Well, the North Pole is a very special place. It is of course the home of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. Every year, this magical character brings huge joy to millions of children and families around the world. But today Father Christmas's home is under serious threat. Thanks to global warming and climate change, the Arctic could be ice free before 2020. More and more of the continental ice shelf is melting every year. We think it's time to give something back to Father Christmas by helping to stop the melt. |
The Arctic is also home to amazing animals including the polar bear and walrus. A global temperature rise of just two degrees centigrade could see these creatures lost forever. And there are plenty of other reasons why we need to act to keep things cool. If Greenland melts, there could be a seven metre rise in sea levels, threatening coastal cities. These are just some of the reasons why we need to tackle climate change. The good news is that there are lots of simple, positive steps we can all take right now - including for a carbon-conscious Christmas - but we need to act now. Help save the North Pole - before it's too late! |
