Rewards for Recycling

How do you train people to adopt good habits?

The training usually begins within our family and circle of friends.

It then continues through formal education or home-schooling and the media.

And at last, it becomes a well established habit that comes to us naturally.

So why is it that the government OR other private companies here in Greece haven't yet thought of rewarding good behavior(s)?

Like coming up with a system of reward every time a citizen recycles their rubbish...?

Some companies abroad would "die" for the opportunity to take rubbish for a small amount of money, reward points or some other small gift or exchange!

Here, in (third-world country) Greece, "they" take our rubbish for FREE!

The most infuriating thing of all is that  we "give" it away WILLINGLY!



Isn't that something?! What a feat!
