As a first step toward a long-term solution, four visionary entrepreneurs launched JYBE in the San Francisco Bay area and Greater Los Angeles in September 2020. App users are prompted to upload photos of their take-out packaging, then indicate specific details like whether items were compostable, the amount of plastic, plastic utensils or Styrofoam. They can share additional details about the eco-friendliness of the packaging with other app users by submitting a review. JYBE provides an analysis and a score from one to four turtles. Four turtles is a high-five to the restaurant making an Earth-friendly choice.
