February 27th is International Polar Bear Day

International Polar Bear Day is an annual event celebrated every February 27 to raise awareness about the conservation status of the polar bear.

International Polar Bear Day is organized by Polar Bears International to raise awareness about the impact of global warming and reduced sea ice on polar bear populations. The day encourages people to find ways to reduce their carbon output, such as by turning down their thermostat or driving less. The day has also been used to encourage the installation of energy efficient insulation in houses.
