She wants less plastic pollution in the world. 今天我們要來講一個十歲的小女孩 Maya 的故事。Maya 希望可以減少地球上的塑膠汙染。 How is Maya helping the world? She is in a group. The group helps the environment. It wants stores to stop using plastic stickers. The plastic stickers are on fruits and vegetables. Maya 要怎麼幫忙呢?她加入了一個環境保護團體,這個團體希望店家可以停止使用貼在蔬菜和水果上的塑膠貼紙。 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。 Can stores use paper stickers? Paper is better for the environment. But plastic is stronger. So stores like plastic stickers. 店家可以改用紙貼紙嗎?紙對環境比較好,但是塑膠比較堅固耐用。 Maya wants everyone to know about these plastic stickers. She wants everyone to know these small stickers make a lot of plastic pollution. Then maybe stores will stop using plastic stickers. Maya is great! She's 10.
