Light Bulbs for Polar Bears

Looking to shed new light on the plight of the polar bears, ecotour outfitters Natural Habitat Adventures is donating 3,000 low-energy carbon fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) to the residents of tiny Churchill, Manitoba (known as "the polar bear capital of the world")--as well as a light bulb recycler to keep toxins out of tundra landfill.  The Bulbs for Bears program is just the latest climate-savvy initiative from sustainable travel pioneer Natural Habitat Adventures (www.nathab.com), with a fresh write-up on National Geographic Traveler's IntelligentTravel blog: http://intelligenttravel.typepad.com/it/2008/01/northern-lights.html.  Kudos to these climate coolers.
