TIBB's RED DEVIL!!!
|
A city in Taiwan is rewarding people who pick up dog poo by entering them in a lottery. The initiative, which began in August, has proved to be a success, cutting the amount of faeces on the streets of New Taipei City by half, according to BBC News. Each bag of dog poo was rewarded with a lottery ticket. In the end, around 14,500 tickets were given to 4,000 people. Prizes were handed out to 85 randomly-drawn winners. One woman won a gold ingot valued at $2,200 (£1,400) while others won household appliances. The city has no intention of starting a second lottery at present. Officials said that money is an issue and that they hope the public will continue to clean up excrement without any form of reward.
