FLICK OFF MANIFESTO
"We have at most ten years—not ten years to decide upon action, but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of global greenhouse emissions.” Jim Hansen, NASA.
FLICK OFF is a movement to fight climate change by getting Canadians to use less energy. We need you! Time is short to prevent a climate crisis, but it hasn’t run out—so join the FLICK OFF movement. How? Click here!
The more we all FLICK OFF, the bigger the difference we’ll make. Here’s why: we burn fossil fuels for energy. But that releases huge amounts of greenhouse gases. Those greenhouse gases? Well, they came by their name honestly, and they're heating up our planet. The biggest culprits? Coal for electricity, and oil for fuel.
Why FLICK OFF? It’s simple. The less energy we use, the fewer greenhouse gases we emit.
So let's get going—by using all the alternative energy we can, and by reducing greenhouse gases through energy conservation. The reality is, we waste energy like crazy; we use old, crappy, inefficient technology; and we are the undisputed energy gluttons of the world.
FLICK OFF is going to change that. By getting people to make changes, every day. By getting people to talk about our planet—how we use it, how we abuse it, and what solutions we have.
We’re in this mess together, and we need to fix it. So please, FLICK OFF. The more you do it, the cooler it gets. (The planet, that is.) Very Useful information,

Hi I really enjoyed reading your article please feel free to visit my site http://run-your-car-on-water.blogspot.com/
ever since FLICK OFF launched last year, i have been biking to work everyday. it's such a good feeling to get my heart rate going in the morning. not only that, but it's quicker than taking the subway or a taxi. not only that, but it doesn't do a single thing to the environment. not only that, i get fresh air. and not only that, but it's faster than walking.
biking to work. i highly recommend it.
Earth Hour was great, but we need to remember that the Earth deserves more than an hour of our consideration. This site is an amazing resource. I keep coming back for tips on how to conserve... my goal is to not only lessen my environmental footprint but also to save money. Bonus! We are proud supporters of FLICK OFF. We were always a little environmental- we recycled, turned off lights, etc. But lately, since we joined a school environmental group and formed Light Wise, we've really become passionate about the cause. We've just been sponsored by BC Hydro (gave us 250 pckgs of CFL's- compact flourescent light bulbs) and are selling them at 3 for five dollars- that's half the retail price. Not only are we enjoying it, but we are also getting a jet load of support from our friends and family. We also recieved the action packs but sadly we could not use the stickers because our teachers said they resembled the F word (our only complaint). Our last word- UP YOURS! LMAO!!
Who honestly wants to die in ten years?
I've always been interested in this organization, I'm excited to learn more.
