🍊 The little stickers you see on fruits and veggies seem pretty harmless, right? You may have once thought that they were compostable, or even edible! After all, if they're allowed to be on food, they can't be that bad...

😖 Unfortunately, that's not so true! Maya is here to tell you why plastic price look-up stickers (PLUs) can be such an issue, from contaminating organic material that could have otherwise been composted to entering our aquatic environments.

🌍 It's for these reasons that we're urging the federal government to include plastic PLUs under their single-use plastic ban, while adopting compostable, plastic-free sticker alternatives.

💪 Head to the link in our bio, and take the pledge to fight plastic pollution yourself by joining Maya's Plastic Pollution Campaign!
