Panasonic recently sponsored an event to raise awareness about the plight of the polar bears. As shown in the video below, several “flying polar bears” made from plant-derived soap bubbles were released into the sky. Please note that this is a sponsored video and we do get paid each time you view it. We are doing this to help support the site and spread awareness about the plight of the polar bears, and your attention is greatly appreciated!
Climate Change poses several challenges to our planet, not the least of which is melting ice caps. This poses a particularly large threat for the polar bear, since this species actually lives on sea ice. Why is this a problem? First of all, as the ice melts the polar bear habitat just plain disappears. Second, polar bears primarily feed on seals, which occasionally come up to the top of the ice through breathing holes. Polar bears are unable to capture seals in the open water, and as the ice melts it becomes harder and harder for polar bears to find food.
It’s nice to see large corporations spending some social capital to raise awareness about big issues facing our planet. What are your thoughts on the issue?

Come On Over
by Kate on March 9, 2010
“Come On Over, Come On Over Baby” and please buy my car. Christina Aguilera is not only a singer any more, she is now also a car designer.
Christina Aguilera was asked by Chrysler to design an eco friendly car. She agreed and the finished product will be auctioned off and all of the proceeds will go to earthquake victims in Haiti.
The EcoStyle by Christina Aguilera was made with sustainable materials including water based vanilla, cactus-colored seat-inserts, and bamboo appliqué on the door trim and center console. Additionally the Christina Aguilera version of the Chrysler 300 will have an “economic engine”…not really sure what that means…but it is a nice looking vehicle and it comes with Christina Aguilera’s autograph.
This car seems more like a marketing technique to make Chrysler and Christina Aguilera look eco friendly, but it is a nice concept in the right direction and the proceeds go to a great cause.
