Thanks to good old Creative Commons licensing, the These Come From Trees meme keeps spreading on its merry way.
The latest place it's shown up? Italy.
Luca emailed me asking if it was cool to use the logo and the tagline, and the general idea. I, of course, told him to go crazy, as long as he cited the original source.
Well, he has certainly taken it and run with it.
These Come From Trees stickers now add another language and distribution locale to its list, all the better for unintentional paper goods overconsumption the world over, eh?
Of course, I had to tell him in our email exchange that Venice's Marco Polo airport already has a couple TCFT stickers...sadly, not in Italian. He says he'll do his best to rectify that situation!

Since when does 100 pounds equal 50 kg? Similarly, I'm surprised Dina didn't do a conversion for Kuwaiti usage. Do Kuwaiti's use pounds too?

I'm a language teacher at a middle school in Seattle, WA. I'm about to order some of your stickers. I also wanted to let you know that if you sent me your Photoshop file I could do the French and Spanish translations and send them to you (I could get a colleague to do Mandarin, too).
