50-year-old Invisible Woman?

This is a weird place in life to be: a 50-year-old single woman who is not a celebrity and who does not look like a model. I was married in my twenties, divorced in my twenties, was an elementary school teacher, now a librarian/archivist. I love rollercoasters and have a professional membership in a national rollercoaster organization. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, but feel socially excluded from the world in general, and particularly excluded from the world of men my age (and even older)– because why?

Hey, I’m 52, a bit of a bookworm, and loved roller-coasters until one day, one I was riding on- broke! Scary. I’m also an artist of sorts, among other things Love animals- horses, cats, and dogs, in that order

Yeah… it can be hard to meet people… if you don’t mix in where people your own age can be found. And there are so many dating clubs and services for people of all different age groups. You just have to search them out locally. It can be tough, if you don’t put the effort into it. Takes work. Dating at ANY age takes work. That never changes, sorry to say. Good luck

Me, I’m single, and looking

What are the causes of polar bears getting closer to extinction?Why is it important to understant the issue?

I am doing a ecology project in my biology class. We chose a conservation issue to focus on and we are to create a flyer on our issue and present it in front of the class. I am going to choose the topic about polar bears nearing extinction. Any input will help.
Thanks!

I did a similar project in biology a couple years ago.
There is a ton of information out there…
What I found is that melting glaciers are creating greater distance between ice floes. Hence, polar bears have to swim greater distances from piece to piece. They get tired and drown. In 2005, I think, there were more than 70 found dead from drowning.
Additionally, with warming temperatures, polar bears are moving into habitats they didn’t previously occupy, and leaving ones they did. People and polars don’t mix too well.
Another issue is the entire food chain itself. All aspects of the environment are changing… too little food for this leads to too little food for that leads to hungry polar bears.
Like I said, there’s a bunch of stuff out there – google!
Good luck!
