Sierra Club - Explore, enjoy and protect the planet

Dear Daniel,

Host OR Attend a Frozen Planet
House Party!

Frozen Planet

Blue sign up button

The Earth's polar regions are vast, wild and virtually untouched. This spring, Discovery Channel will air Frozen Planet, a miniseries in the tradition of Planet Earth and Life that will take us to both poles, bringing us face-to-face with the wild beauty of the world's polar regions.


Sign up to host OR attend a Frozen Planet House party and watch the show with your friends and neighbors. If you sign up to host, we'll send you a screener DVD and give you everything you need to host a great party.

House parties will take place between March 15th and March 31st, the weeks around Frozen Planet's premiere on Discovery Channel. The timing couldn't be better, since right now the Obama administration is deciding whether or not to allow Shell Oil to drill in the Polar Bear Seas this summer.

Hosting or attending a house party is a powerful way to be a part of the growing movement to stop Arctic drilling. After you watch the documentary, you will have the chance to sign postcards to the administration and write letters to your local paper asking the President to say "no" to oil drilling in America's Arctic.

If you sign up to host, we'll send you a packet with everything you need: a DVD, a guide to hosting a successful party, postcards to the President -- and you'll have an online host center where you can invite guests and see who's signed up.

Thank you for everything you do for our wild places.

Sincerely,

Dan Ritzman
Sierra Club Arctic Campaign Director 

P.S. We want to make sure we have house parties all over the nation! Forward this email to your friends, or share on Facebook and Twitter:

Island nation of Kiribati plans mass relocation due to climate change

A serene beach in Kiribati, which may soon vanish beneath the waves due to rising ocean levels. Screenshot via YouTube.
 
Rising sea levels created by the melting of Earth’s polar ice caps and glaciers pose such a threat to the low-lying Pacific island nation of Kiribati that its leader said this week they were in talks to purchase land in neighboring Fiji for a mass relocation of its citizens.

Kiribati President Anote Tong said that they were specifically eyeing land on the neighboring nation’s second largest island, Vanua Levu, according to published reports. Tong added that the mass migration was “our last resort” after a number of its tropical atolls vanished beneath the waves. None of the nation’s islands sit higher than two meters above sea level.
