Changing people’s behaviour for the better

I love the following projects which can easily be implement in any place where one can make a change for a better world. This approach of making fun to do it is based on psychological human facts that create a positive reinforcement.


BOTTLE BANK ARKADE MACHINE

Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans. Noticeably fewer recycle their glass. Maybe that's because we don't get any money in return, as we do for cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded with a good conscience, you also get a smile. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSiHjMU-MUo]


THE WORLD'S DEPEEST BIN
To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard. Many people still fail to do so. Can we get more people to throw rubbish into the bin, rather than onto the ground, by making it fun to do? here. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEKAwCoCKw]

PIANO STAIRS
Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better” is something we often hear or read in the Sunday papers. Few people actually follow that advice. Can we get more people to take the stairs over the escalator by making it fun to do? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw]



THE PLAY BELT
Can we ensure everyone keeps their safety belt on by making it fun to do? This is another of the ideas that made it to the final of the fun theory award, created by Nevena Stojanovic from Serbia. The idea is being tested in Sweden in the hope it could be applied to all vehicles in the future [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AbQSE4ZKvk]

This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.
