The Ten Percent Shift Pledge

As a proud British Columbian, I pledge to dedicate at least ten percent of my consumer spending to locally manufactured or grown products, and to locally owned businesses that offer locally produced goods and services.

People who sign the pledge (Shifters) will receive occasional emails from the Ten Percent Shift and your local Shift Partner organization. After receiving the initial email, at any time you may opt out of receiving future emails. Under no circumstances will your email address be given or sold to any other organizations or individuals. Welcome to our local movement to change our world. Your information will be used to create an account on this website to give you preferred access to information.
