Kind of a weird message. The paltry amount of energy my screen time uses pales in comparison to the footprint left by massive careless corporations and the ultra-wealthy, and it would be far more effective at helping the environment to convince them to make even small adjustments.
Putting the onus on the average person just seems cruel. It leads to people like my wife desperate to do every little minor thing she can to adjust her footprint, making almost no difference in the grand scheme, while the real causes continue on unabated.
Many small things are important too, like recycling, and voting for parties that enact green policy. “Screen time” is too vague to mean energy intensive.

It also pales in comparison to the carbon cost of printing out the poster and lighting it.
