So far, three preschools in Tokyo, Hyogo, and Saga prefectures have received solar panels from the Sorabear Foundation. The children at these schools have been told the story of Big Bear and Little Bear and have learned about the environment. This year, solar cell panels will be donated to more preschools around the country.

The ice cap is melting because the Earth's climate is changing drastically. Only humans have the power to stop Big Bear and Little Bears' tears. Why not learn about the global environment and embark on a journey with the two bear brothers to protect our Earth?
