Dan Ariely's Battle Plan for a Condo's Dog Wars | Ask Ariely - WSJ.com

Dan Ariely's Battle Plan for a Condo's Dog Wars | Ask Ariely - WSJ.com:
Here's an imaginative solution to the problem of people not cleaning up after their dogs: "What if the condo management put money in a community fund to pay for a droppings-cleaner, as needed, and used whatever was left at the end of the month for a get-together for all dog owners and their dogs? If lots of money remained each month, the party would include food, drinks and doggy treats; if there was no money, it would just be water. This way, failing to clean up after the dogs would damage the community—the personal and social cost of these actions would increase—and people would be more careful."
