In this brief instructional video, the speaker announces the release of printable sticker templates designed to label grocery store produce as American-made, aiming to make product origins transparent. Acknowledging that some viewers are uncomfortable with physically attaching stickers, the speaker offers alternative, non‑permanent methods—using removable tape or paperclips—to affix the labels without burdening store staff. For those who prefer not to stick anything at all, two printable business‑card styles are provided: a polite version that includes the creator’s name and contact information, and a more direct version. Both sticker and business‑card files are available on the same webpage (b.link/labels). The overall message emphasizes low‑effort, respectful activism that does not make store employees’ jobs harder.

Chapters

Yesterday I released some sticker templates that you can put on products in the grocery store that are American to make the origins clear. Some of you said you didn't want to stick anything, which is fine. Not everyone's born to be Banksy of the produce aisle, so I have something for you folks too. But remember, you don't have to stick the labels down like a grade 2 art project. You just take the sticker templates and put removable tape on them, or paperclip them to a produce sign. The goal isn't to make staff lives harder. They already spend their days explaining that best before does not mean apocalypse after. But if you're still squeamish about sticking anything, then I have a new option for you. Business cards that you can leave with the cashier, put in the suggestion box, hand to the produce manager, slip into the eggplant and peach bins. It's your choice. And there's two versions. There's the polite one where you can leave your name and contact info, and then there's one that's a little more direct. You can print these on paper, you can use the Avery business card stock, Either way, you can find these on the same page as the stickers, which is b.link/labels.
