On Saturday, December 8th, I jumped into the icy Chesapeake Bay for the Third Annual Polar Bear Plunge. The event was organized by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network to raise awareness about the growing crisis of global warming and to raise the funds needed to continue the fight against it.Thanks to supportive friends and family, I raised over $1,300! I had the best time the day of the plunge. Over 200 men, women, children and dogs took the plunge in 49 degree water on a partly sunny 40 degree morning.
View a completely fun, totally inspiring two minute video of our Plunge (keep your volume turned up!)
I hope you'll join me next year!
Green Tip:
What To Do With Your Christmas Tree After the Holidays
Don't leave your Christmas tree for the trash collector (unless your jurisdiction has a special pick up for trees).
Cut it up and use the needles as mulch, the branches as kindling and the trunk as firewood (after it's dried out).
If you don't have a wood burning fireplace, give your wood as a belated holiday gift to your friends and family!
