I LOVE the sticker, because people need to be reminded of where things come from. Many kids have no idea where their food comes from except from the grocery store. And most people have no idea where their garbage lands up. What to do? Use less. And if this reminds 10% of the people to air dry their hands at the tune of 5 seconds...it will save paper, resources, etc. etc. Gold and diamonds are the bane of Africa - it is interesting that the person used those resources as an analogy and frankly, yes, trees are gold and diamonds for our air and water - you know those elements - the one we can't live without? So, every little bit does count. And I bet, that people would do more if they were gently reminded of their impact and how easy it is to reduce the use of resources.
