Why do stores use these stickers? The stickers make it easy to find the price of a fruit or vegetable. Then customers can pay the right price. The stickers are small. But stores have lots and lots of fruits and vegetables! So the stickers make a lot of plastic pollution. Maya doesn't want stores to use plastic stickers. But stores don't want to stop using them.
這些貼紙讓客人可以找到蔬果的價格。雖然貼紙很小，但蔬菜水果那麼多！這些貼紙會造成塑膠污染，Maya 希望這些店家可以停止使用，但是店家不願意。
