Hi John,

As the Arctic warms, melting sea ice leaves polar bears either waiting on land, unable to hunt for their next meal, or at risk of drowning as they swim hours or even days to find food. And right now, the Arctic is warming 4 times faster than the rest of the Earth.

Fast action to cut methane and slow global warming is critical to saving the sea ice. One of EDF’s lead researchers, Tianyi Sun, boils it down like this:

“If we hit net-zero carbon dioxide by 2050 but ignore methane, we have a 50-50 chance at preserving [Arctic summer sea ice]. But if we tackle methane too, we have a very good shot at saving this critical climate component that’s vital to us all.”

That's why we've set a goal of welcoming 150 new sustaining members this International Polar Bear Day to help slash climate pollution — the best way to preserve critical polar bear habitat before it's too late (we’re only 23 away!).

Will you support bold climate action and our efforts to preserve Arctic summer sea ice by starting a monthly gift today? If you start a gift of $15 or more by midnight tonight, you can request a polar bear adoption kit featuring your choice of polar bear-themed gift. Not only that, the Wilson Charitable Trust will match your first gift $1 for $1, doubling your impact! [link removed]

Our research shows that cutting methane pollution is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming. Why? Because methane emissions from human activity are causing at least 25% of today’s warming.

Acting now to slash methane will have immediate benefits to the climate that reductions in carbon pollution cannot provide on their own.

EDF has been researching methane for over a decade. With the help of members like you, we've already launched trailblazing solutions like assembling the Dairy Methane Action Alliance to help reduce and account for the methane emissions in dairy supply chains.

We’ve also organized over 10,000 advocates to push for the most protective methane pollution limit on the books.

And soon, we’re launching MethaneSAT, which will be able to track methane emissions around the world with unprecedented precision to pinpoint the source of methane leaks and hold emitters accountable.

You can support long-term solutions like these by becoming a sustaining donor. Your first year's gifts will be matched $1 for $1 — doubling your impact. Plus, you’ll also receive exclusive reports and invitations to join us for virtual events as we work to build a vital Earth for everyone. [link removed]

P.S. As a small gesture of our appreciation, if you start a monthly gift of at least $15, we’ll send you your very own polar bear adoption kit to help you remember the incredible work you’re supporting. And your first 12 gifts will be matched $1 for $1 by the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust, doubling your impact for your entire first year. [link removed]
