I think it was the bus system in Ottawa (Canada) that I noticed that on some buses, at the front, there would be a small pile of newspapers in the morning. The full fledged real deal newspaper. Somebody would grab one, read it, and when they were done, put it back. Since the numbers were fairly few (say, less than 5), people would feel obliged to leave the paper in good condition and put it back afterwards.
I think if the distribution of that paper were changed a bit, perhaps they would see a bit more sharing.
