GEAR
You want the goods? We've got the goods—an ACTION KIT and lots of rad t-shirts that work the FLICK OFF vibe six ways from Sunday.
Roots is donating net proceeds from the sale of FLICK OFF gear in its stores to Environmental Defence to fund FLICK OFF. We’ll keep you posted on the totals as they come in. -The FLICK Off Team Quote: "Roots also sells "Stop Global Warming" bracelets to raise funds for a US-based ecological organization spearheading action on that pressing matter. So far, they have raised more than $150,000 for the cause."
I thought Roots was a Canadian company? Why are they supporting US based initiatives? Why won't you give the name of this "US based ecological organization".
$150,000 is a really small number compared to the profit they make off these things. What percentage is that....like .0005%?
Still no response to the percentage question for the flick off bracelets...
I see on the roots website that 100% of the proceeds from the stop global warming bracelets sales are donated. What about the flick off bracelets?
I love all da clothes that they have come out with. I myself have bought a t-shirt..and it grabs EVERYONES attention at school..great campaign..well..i'm out..gotta flick off mi comp :D
It is a valid question. I think it is a bit tacky for a company to USE an important issue like this as a marketing tool. The key to reducing carbon footprint is to stop buying silly things. Every t-shirt, every pair of shoes etc., adds to what you take away from the earth.
If a company came out with "Children are Dying in Africa" gear.....and made huge profits off it..... Don't you think the public should know what that company is doing to save dying children? Exploiting an issue simply to make money is not cool.
Is this the page you were looking for? It appears the GEAR page has been reformatted to more of a store-type layout and no longer has space for comments. You can still find them however in the archived posts. I do agree however that it is odd that this question has been asked more than once (see above posts) and has yet to be answered.
Percentage is immaterial (pun intended)- although I haven't yet read the answer!? Any donation is more than none.
BUT, while on the subject (money). . .
If Money is taken out of the pollution equation the result is generally no pollution, isn't it? such as: fossil fuel emissions from cars when there has been a viable alternative for years. Everyone could come up with an example, I'm sure.
Our obsession with bigger, better, more than the 'Jones' is the culprit. Saw a great sign:"if what you have isn't enough, more won't help".
comments or ideas??
