Hey everyone! We've been working on posting up stickers around the bay area, but wanted to share a fun stat with you.
We recently sent out our 10,000th sticker to a These Come From Trees project participant! That's awesome. Every time I put one up, I remember that that sticker on the paper towel dispenser will save more paper that day than it took to make, and in a whole year will save up to 100 pounds of paper--one whole tree.
It saves the store owner money, saves the earth some trees, and helps educate each other in our day to day when it's easy to forget where things really come from.
Thanks for making this a success!
