Get cold to stop global warming!

And have fun and raise money while you're doing it!

Join thousands of concerned climate activists across the country as we jump into cold bodies of water - or ski down slopes in our shorts! - on January 10, 2009, raising money and awareness and making clear our demand as a new Congress and President take office: Keep Winter Cold! Fight Global Warming!


Polar Plunge news and tips for attending, creating and finding a Plunge...

It was hard not to be more than a little wary of Saturday's event when every time I looked at the weather report, I saw increasingly dire predictions: first rain, then freezing rain, then definite snow. How did those meteorologists get it so wrong? The weather on the beach could even be called pleasant. Despite the icicles that became my feet, this year's plunge was a blast. Thanks to Emma's Revolution for the great music and I hope to see everyone again next year!

Please tell us about your experiences in the comments!
