Example of clicktivism
Original email:
A recent surge in poaching is threatening to send African rhino populations back to dangerously low numbers. One rhino is killed every 19 hours despite laws that prohibit poaching and sales of rhino horns. Demand for rhino horns is particularly high in Vietnam and China where the powder is thought to cure cancer and other health ailments, though it has no health benefits whatsoever.
Sir Richard Branson is calling for immediate action by CITES, a consortium of 175 countries charged with stopping the rhino horn trade. Join him by signing the petition to demand that CITES put pressure on Vietnam and China to ensure that severe punishments for traffickers and sellers are enforced. -

The digital citizen uses the principles of leadership, ethics, accountability, fiscal responsibility, environmental awareness, global citizenship, and personal responsibility, and considers his or her actions and their consequences. The ideal Global Digital Citizen is defined by the presence of 5 main qualities:
Personal Responsibility in ethical and moral boundaries, finance, personal health and fitness, and relationships of every definition.
Global Citizenship and its sense of understanding of world-wide issues and events, respect for cultures and religions, and an attitude of acceptance and tolerance in a changing world.
Digital Citizenship and the guiding principles of respecting and protecting yourself, others, and all intellectual property in digital and non-digital environments.
Altruistic Service by taking advantage of the opportunities we are given to care for our fellow citizens, and to lend our hands and hearts to these in need when the need is called for.
Environmental Stewardship and its common sense values about global resource management and personal responsibility for safeguarding the environment, and an appreciation and respect for the beauty and majesty that surrounds us every day. -
