Whole Foods Uses Color-Coded Labels

One of the more interesting things I ran across while reporting on a story about sustainable seafood, which appears in today's Sun, has to do with Whole Foods.

The supermarket does an excellent job of labeling the fish in its case. It uses color-coded stickers to indicate how the fish is rated by the Blue Ocean Institute.

Green means the fish is relatively abundant and caught in a manner that causes little environmental damage. Yellow indicates serious problems with abundance or fishing methods. Red means problems with that fish are even worse.
