Not even a banana peel is sacred

A banana, like many other fruits, is a great food in terms of reducing waste, as long as I don't put it in a produce bag at the store. It comes with its own unique biodegradable wrapper. But alas, even a banana is not waste free.

It is impossible to get away from these plastic stickers that come on every store-bought fruit. Even some of the fruits in our CSA box have stickers. While I understand the store's need to label things for inventory, at least the sticker could be biodegradable as well.
