Video 1: How to get people to use the stairs

Video 2: How to get people to throw their trash into the bin

Looking forward to watching their next one.

    Me too, piano-stairs was my fav. Interesting, do you remember where and when did they try this idea? And was it used to encourage people to use the stairs (or just to catch people’s attention)?
