I came across this video a few days ago and thought it was worth sharing. The Arctic is one of those places that inspires thoughts of adventure, but the way things are going, it may not be around for much longer. Global climate change is having a direct impact on the polar ice caps and as a result, our world is changing dramatically. In the video, a displaced polar bear wanders the streets of London, giving us some striking images that are incredibly sad.
The ad was inspired by the Save The Arctic organization, which is an offshoot of Greenpeace.

Very, very sad polar bear. We've got a polar bear (or two – haven't been for ages; zoos not really my thing) at our Johannesburg Zoo. Every time I see them my heart lurches. Same feeling as this video.
I'm not much of a zoo person either Lisa. Makes me sad to see the animals in those cages. But yeah, this video just makes you feel sad.
