Green Artists League

Polar looking for lunch in Portsmouth

On April 17th, 2009, a homeless polar bear was spotted in downtown Boston during lunch hour. She was accompanied by several members of the Green Artists League who passed out cards asking for help in saving her vanishing habitat.

The polar bear engaged lunching corporate executives in Post Office Square by waving her placard that read “Will Work for Fish” and asking for “Change”.  Finding little relief, she pushed her shopping cart throughout the downtown financial and tourist districts. Hoping to adapt to her new compromised circumstance, the polar bear attempted to befriend Bostonians by washing the windshields of cars waiting for a light near Faneuil Hall.

On April 19th, the polar bear had migrated north to Portsmouth, New Hampshire in hopes of finding a suitable habitat. Unfortunatly, no home was found but she did discover some day-old fish behind a sushi restaurant.

As the polar bear’s command of the English language is severely limited, GAL supplied the bear with cards to distribute in the hope of rallying people to change their environmentally destructive habits.

I can’t adapt to being a vegetarian.
But you can. 30% of human-induced
