Although many people have great conservation habits at home, like turning off lights when not in use, somehow these practices often seem foreign in our workplaces. Placing gentle reminders next to light switches really makes a difference! Use cartoons, inspirational quotes about conservation, and humour, and you’ll find your colleagues switching off lights in no time. Place a different quote next to each light switch, and people will be looking for light switches to turn off just to read a new quote.
