Activists place 'non-organic' stickers on products in Eindhoven
Published
In Eindhoven, activists have started a striking campaign in various supermarkets. They are placing stickers with the text 'non-organic' on fruits and vegetables that have not been grown in an ecological manner. With this action, the activists aim to make consumers more aware of exactly what they are buying.
The group behind the campaign believes that it is often unclear to customers in the store whether products are organic or not. By applying the stickers, they hope that people will more quickly see which products have been treated with pesticides. According to the activists, it is important that consumers are able to make an informed choice when doing their grocery shopping.
The campaign is drawing mixed reactions in the city. Some customers support the initiative and believe there should be more transparency regarding the origin of food. Others criticize the method, as placing stickers on products in the store is seen as unwanted behavior or even vandalism.
Supermarkets in Eindhoven have not yet officially responded to the action. For now, it is unclear whether the activists plan to expand their campaign to other cities in the Netherlands. For the time being, it remains limited to these actions in Eindhoven's stores.
