This video was shared with me on Facebook & I thought it was worth sharing here. ‘The Fun Theory’ http://www.thefuntheory.com say, “they believe that the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better is by making it fun to do.”
They adapted an ordinary street bin with sound effects & because it was fun & captured the interest of people, 72kgs of litter was collected over one day, 41kg more than another bin a short distance away. This astounded me, but if it works, why not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEKAwCoCKw&feature=share
Marrickville – it’s been here for weeks & just gets bigger & bigger.
