Think about it. Since Earthrise was taken we've been so busy warming our world that it now looks radically different from space. By digging up fossil fuels and burning our ancient forests we've put so much carbon into the atmosphere that today's astronauts are looking at a different planet. And here's something that just baffles me. As the ice retreats, the oil giants are moving in. Instead of seeing the melting as a grave warning to humanity, they're eyeing the previously inaccessible oil beneath the seabed at the top of the world. They're exploiting the disappearance of the ice to drill for the very same fuel that caused the melting in the first place. Fossil fuels have colonized every corner of our Earth, but at some time and in some place we need to say, "No more." I believe that time is now and that place is the Arctic.

That's why I've joined Greenpeace's campaign to create a legally protected sanctuary around the North Pole and a ban on oil drilling and industrial fishing in Arctic waters. My name will be among at least 2 million that Greenpeace is taking to the pole and planting on the seabed 4 kilometers beneath the ice. We're coming together to secure the Arctic for all life on Earth.

In just one month, more than a million of us have already signed up at www.savethearctic.org, but if you're not one of them there's still a chance to ensure your name is planted at the bottom of the ocean at the top of the world.

And if you, like me, are irresistibly drawn to the stunning Arctic wildlife, then you'll want to join the Arctic Rising online movement. You can choose to be one of five animals -- a polar bear, a snowy owl, an Arctic fox, a walrus or a narwhal. Once you've joined an animal clan you hunt in a pack for new supporters for the campaign and compete against the other animals to get new people involved. It's a kind of Earthrise, where we try to spark the dawn of a new mass movement, one that draws a line in the ice and says to the polluters, "You come no further." So now I've got to decide which animal I'm going to be.

Yeah, you've guessed it. I am the Walrus.
