While we all
hunker down and do our best to fight the spread of COVID-19 by
staying home, experts are saying that emissions due to
individual action — our daily commutes, flying to see far away
relatives — are at an all time low. The bad news is,
it may still not be enough. It is time for our world's countries to use
their immense power to finally fight climate change on a large
scale, or we could lose entire species. Species
like the emperor penguin.
Emperor penguins rely on stable,
unchanging ice to breed, raise babies, eat, and protect
themselves from predators. If there is too much or too little
ice, the penguins' lives are totally disrupted. And climate
change is causing that disruption. But climate change can only
be fought by curbing its biggest contributors — major
industries and the nations whose economies they feed.
The Paris Agreement was created
in 2015 to control emissions and global warming.
Scientists say that if the goals of the Paris
Agreement are met, emperor penguins will have a real chance at
survival. But so far, not one major country is on track to
fulfill their promises. Even worse, President Trump has
sworn to pull the United States from the agreement altogether.
Sign now and tell the U.S. to re-enter
the Paris Agreement and remind those countries that have
signed to uphold their end of the bargain!
Thank you,

P.S. We cannot
afford to lose these beautiful animals simply because
countries weren't willing to do enough to stop global warming.
Please protect emperor penguins by signing the
