Most of our “little helpers” in the office are powered by electricity. Even though modern electric devices are quite efficient, they should be used with care. Especially leaving devices on stand-by mode all day long is a waste of energy (and money). For example, a printer consumes up to 20 per cent of the total enery needed when on stand-by. Unplugging devices when not used for a longer period of time can save additional energy.
We have created ten creative stickers to inspire and serve as a reminder for individuals to power down idle electronic devices during their workday. These stickers come in various sizes – small, medium, and large – making it convenient for people to affix them in their workspaces and commonly used areas.
