We all agree…
Our children are our future.
There is really no debate on this fact. No polls. No election questions, or ballots.
We play with our children, we teach them, raise them to be the best they can be. (Well, we do our best) However, are we teaching them how to save their planet?
When we are long gone, and a distant memory in a photograph, there will be our children, raising their own children. What type of a planet are we leaving behind? If we as a human race can slowly destroy a beautiful, living planet than we can preserve it.
It really is us. There’s no one else.
Whether we have children or not, lets support eachother in learning about our planet, our environment, our water, our energy. Let’s teach children about conservation, recycling, replenishment, and replacing.
Where to start.
There are millions of blogs, and articles, groups, organizations, movements, and clubs available to us to help us with all the facts we need to know. There really is no excuse.
Energy Conservation
Green Torch is a cutting edge energy brand that helps replace old damaged exit signs and emergency lighting products with self-luminescent, and low energy emitting products.
How Do GreenTorch™ Exit Signs Work?
Photoluminescent exit signs are non-electrical, glow-in-the-dark exit signs. They work just like a glow-in-the-dark key chain or sticker. Photoluminescent exit signs are coated in a chemical that absorbs the light from ambient lighting in their vicinity and, when power is lost or the lights are turned out, they radiate this light and continue to glow. Photoluminescent exit signs are a perfect building safety choice for two reasons. One, they are energy efficient. Because they use no electricity, they lower energy costs and conserve resources. Two, they are extremely dependable in an emergency. They continue to provide light even when back up emergency power systems fail – and they’re bright enough to be seen through smoke. Photoluminescent exit signs are non-toxic, non-radioactive, and come in a variety of viewing distances. The pigments used on most photoluminescent exit signs will glow for up to 8 hours in the absence of ambient lighting. The chemical coating will generally continue to glow in the dark for up to fifteen years, and they’re nearly effortless to maintain

How can you help?
In your home, you probably do not need an exit sign. But, let’s stop for a minute and think about this.
In your everyday travels, how many stores or businesses do you walk into that have exit signs. And not just one? One exit sign can emit up to 40 KW of energy a year. Now, times that by one floor, or one building. The amount of energy consumed is astronomical. It all comes from our energy grid.
What happens after 30 years?
There are many exit signs that are already needing to be replaced and are damaged or leaking. Many wont work in a fire, and need energy and batteries. They are not always replaced on time, and are faulty.
Your voice counts.
Asking the manager to contact a Green Torch manufacturer will ensure safety, environmentally friendly standards, and energy savings in replacing their exit signs.
Such a simple little thing.
Who really thinks of exit signs? They are quiet, little signs out of the way. However, they become the most important feature in an emergency. For your safety, no matter how young or old you are…asking for a safer building to do business in is your right.
