Nice! That’s cleverly done, especially getting the media to report about it and make people think about the issue a bit. Good for them!
For what it’s worth, all of the street hucksters are invisible to me, especially the current plague of environmental ones. That’s not because I have anything against them personally, but because they all use normal human social conventions (e.g., eye contact, mutual respect, reciprocity) to manipulate people into giving up money.
I know they all think they’re doing the manipulating for a good reason. For the ones I agree with, I make them (or organizations that help them) part of my yearly donations. But I don’t want any of them badgering me on the street, so I never give money in person.
Nice. I wish i had been there so i could take a flash photo of him too.
