Supporting the Polar Bears WWF
If you travelled with us this year on board THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride, you may have noticed something new in our gift shop—our biodegradable plastic bags! As part of our commitment to supporting the polar bears WWF, we wanted to introduce a more sustainable way for our guests to take home their magical Christmas goodies while also making a real difference for Arctic wildlife.
At PNP Events Ltd, we all agreed that single-use plastic bags were not something we wanted to continue using for THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride event. Not only are they harmful to the environment, but we knew we could do better. That’s why we researched the best options for an eco-friendly, reusable, and biodegradable bag that aligns with our commitment to supporting the polar bears.
A Small Change with a Big Impact – Supporting the Polar Bears WWF
Our new plastic bags aren’t just spacious and useful, but they also contribute to two incredible causes:
- 5p from every large bag sold goes directly to WWF’s Save The Polar Bears campaign, ensuring we are actively supporting the polar bears WWF.
- 5p from every small bag helps fund the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd, supporting these beloved animals that play a huge role in Christmas magic.
Stationed at the North Pole, we couldn’t turn a blind eye to our Arctic neighbours who need our help. That’s why supporting the polar bears is a cause so close to our hearts.
Why Supporting the Polar Bears WWF Matters
Polar bears are strong, majestic creatures, but they are also increasingly vulnerable. These incredible animals rely on Arctic sea ice for survival, but in the last 30 years, we have seen a 40% decline in sea ice coverage. Without this ice, the Arctic ecosystem will be thrown into imbalance, forcing polar bears to travel further for food, putting their future at risk.
That’s why supporting the polar bears is crucial now more than ever. The WWF website explains: "We need to minimise the warming that's melting the polar bear's habitat: sea ice. To do this, we're working to help cut the global greenhouse gas emissions and encourage the switch to renewable energy."
If you’d like to make an even bigger difference, you can adopt a polar bear through WWF and further help in supporting the polar bears WWF. Find out more at: https://support.wwf.org.uk/adopt-a-polar-bear.
Don’t Forget Our Christmas Reindeer!
We want to extend a huge thank you to all our guests who joined us this Christmas and chose to support these incredible causes. Because of your generosity, we raised an amazing £183 for WWF to help save the polar bears, and £143 for the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd.
By purchasing a biodegradable bag, you weren’t just carrying home a souvenir—you became part of something bigger. You helped us continue supporting the polar bears WWF, ensuring a future where these magnificent animals can thrive.
Together, we can make a difference in supporting the polar bears WWF and creating a greener, more magical future for all.
