It's time to wake up and smell the glue. The climate is changing. Landfills are overflowing with single-use sticky notes! If we don't change something soon, then the streets will be too!

Don't just take our word for it! We're 95% sure that this claim is backed by science. We have four links to prove it: 1 2 3 4

Stickies may not have feet, but they still have a footprint 🐾 .

Every sticky note you’ve ever used was made of paper that came from a tree. A tree that could have been taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere! Do you have any idea how rare neon pink trees are?

We guesstimate that each year there are roughly ~4 million imperial metric tons of carbon emitted by people travelling to in-person sticky note sessions.

That's more carbon than it would take to run one of those tall wavy balloon people you find outside car dealerships for 300,000 years.

Sticky Studio is sustainable !

When you delete a sticky in Sticky Studio, we don't just throw it into the bin. 🗑️

Our servers carefully scrub off the text, and the sticky goes back into the box for the next person.

We even reduced our virtual paper impact by offering only four sticky colors—a decision that all of our users love and understand! 😘

If that's not a reason to get unstuck together, then we don't know what is!

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when faced with life-changing revelations like these. You're probably wondering what you can do. We've taken the liberty of preparing a list of steps you can take.

• Don't stick your head in the sand! 🙈
• Stick it to the man by sticking up for the climate! 🌍
• Stick together sustainably with Sticky Studio
• Keep on stickin' in the free world! 🎸

• Isn't there also a carbon cost to using servers?

  Our servers live in the clouds and that sounds quite climate friendly to us. On the off-chance that we're wrong about that, we donate 5% of all our revenue to carbon removal programs .

• But aren't there also carbon costs from user devices too?

  We've looked at the science here. No one really seems to be sure. We recommend unplugging your device whilst using Sticky Studio to reduce your electricity consumption. ⚡️

• Is this just an April Fools joke?

  Half and half. We hope it put a smile on your face, but the way our climate is changing is no joke at all.

  It's a systemic problem and these are the kinds of highly interconnected issues that Sticky Studio helps people explore! We want to encourage you to think boldly.

  We also weren't joking about the climate focused financial commitments we're going to make! Watch this space for a follow up at the end of the month!
