Music video

The music video for the song features Daniel Ilabaca escaping school (which connects to the original song's theme) while doing parkour stunts. They sneak into a number of apartments and perform energy efficient tasks, such as replacing lightbulbs with their energy efficient equivalent, turning down thermostats, turning off televisions, putting bricks in toilets (to save water), etc. Finally, they tap into the apartment complex's power grid and power down the whole building, before re-lighting some of the apartments so that the words "SWITCH OFF" appear in lights on the side of the building. The video ends with the words "you don't need an education to save the planet". The video was shot on the Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham.
