"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?

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.)
