OK, this one's weird... but bees and bears are both in need. A snow hive here and some busy bees in fits of arctic exploration. 40 cards to the Presidents far! Send some of your own with the template here!

Inspired by 1950's sci-fi movie posters, we DON'T want our polar bears to become the fodder of science fiction! A collective effort soon solidified at #COP21 #saveourseaice.

Climate talks continue this week in Paris, and the little green leaf/flame with the Eiffel Tower at its midrib or primary vein is the symbol of the conference. LOTS of discussion regarding whether or not enough will come of this... but there IS optimism in both the numbers of participants and in the general sentiment that economic successes can go hand-in-hand with environmental policy. We shall see, and the bears remain optimistic as well!

December 5th is National Ninja Day (at least according to the good folks at All the Wonders and others I'm sure - I just haven't checked) and the Polar Bear Post Card Project is getting in on the act!

In this particular scenario, the massive adults of the world (IE the 150 nations currently meeting in Paris to create some consensus on economic and environmental policy regarding climate change) need to "bear" down and get their act together to keep the world from totally falling apart.

THAT way, the our youngest kids and cubs can busy themselves with creative, imaginative, and age-appropriate scenarios of awesomeness - rather than worry about their world slipping quickly into something decidedly worse and unrecognizable or untenable.

Ironically -- especially since this pairing of National Nina Day with these post cards was pretty random -- the following philosophy of the Ninja from the Bujinkan Kocho Dojo is pretty much just about perfect for the action needed on climate change:

A ninja, using the power of his spirit to see through the fears and illusions that would coerce lesser people into doing unjust and immoral things, can realize the harmonious playing out of the forces of the universe and act accordingly.
And so it goes. Polar Bear Ninjas for Climate Change!
