Can anyone suggest some really catchy posters (prompts) to help promote energy use conservation in our offices? (e.g. electric power for computers and room lighting)

For fun, I have had some passing thoughts on slogans or energy efficiency reminders:
1. "This is a Light Free Zone!" ....when not occupied . FLICK THE SWITCH - Please
2. Question. What is the most energy efficient machine in this office ? Answer. Your Finger ! FLICK THE SWITCH
3. Question. How do you make a Tree from used paper ? Answer. You can't ! RECYCLE and save a tree instead

Thank you for this Otto. I am wondering if others might like to contribute both to your list and to other conservation matters which might serve as reminders. At my place of work, School of Social Science and Liberal Studies at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, Australia, we are embarking on a School Sustainability Project. At the moment we are conducting an audit but when that is finished one of many tactics will be to display a weekly reminder on the school entrance ways. We feel, that to leave the one message for longer than this, will make it part of the wallpaper. Some suggested topics could be topics that have been discussed on this list such as the myth of letting your vehicle idle and the myth of leaving your computer turned on. They could also be little known facts such as how much CO2 is saved by raising air conditioning a degree and dropping heating by a degree. A degree a year as we learn to be more resilient might save a great deal. How green energy options impact on the environment. Office quota figures on say paper if they are set. Travel facts on CO2 emissions. If others can point to sites where these might be found, I will try and compile a list which I can post here.
