I’ve probably groaned about this before since it’s one of my pet peeves (pun intended); people should not own a dog if they can’t pick up after it. I used to live near a dog park and I’m only exaggerating slightly when I say that the poop littering the sidewalks was an epidemic. There was a running joke that you had to have poop-dar to safely navigate the neighborhood.
Mexican internet company Terra devised a campaign to simultaneously promote their free wifi in the park service and encourage people to be responsible dog owners. Each time someone makes a deposit, the time meter for free wifi increases; more poo, more free internet. It’s a witty Pavlovian technique to reward people for doing what they should be doing anyway.

That’s awesome!
This needs to be everywhere! Or something similar! And eventually we will no longer need poop-dar! But I think that day is a long day coming :/
