Thinking Green can ensure the delicate balance of our environment is restored.

This practice helps reduce energy consumption, lower electricity costs, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, supporting environmentally responsible behaviour in the workplace.

These signs are particularly important in offices, schools, factories, warehouses, retail spaces, laboratories, and public buildings where lights are often left on unnecessarily after work hours. Placing the sign near light switches, room entrances, or exit points ensures maximum visibility and serves as a final reminder to conserve energy.

Encouraging staff to turn off lights also reduces operational costs and fosters a culture of environmental responsibility.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be mounted at eye level near light switches, entrances, or exits, using bold text, green-themed visuals, and clear messaging. This ensures the reminder is seen, understood, and acted upon consistently by all staff and visitors.
