I was recently in Copenhagen as a tourist, taking one of the little tour boats around the canal, and the tour guide explained these nice kayaks which you can get for free if you return having picked up some garbage from the canal. According to him, this actually has been too successful as there now isn't much trash available to be found in the canal anymore, so the kayaks have become less popular. An interesting exam…

I’m still not really getting used to the whole theme of engagement hacking comments but great example of using the Streisand effect to boost replies on your comment by incorrectly labeling it a. Perverse incentive. Bravo.

I appreciate the credit but I really just got the term wrong - my bad!

There’s a group I join and donate to who are “River Keepers” for our area. There’s quarterly kayaking/canoeing trips to clean up the river. On our last outing we collected 32.5 tons of trash. It would be interesting to do something similar. A free kayak rental if you pick up trash. Are there any links to the place you went?

Here's the kayak program: https://kayakrepublic.dk/en/diverse/greenkayak/
