Signs Drive Shoppers to Take the Stairs

“Once the stairs were made more attractive and we added incentives, numbers went up quite a bit.”

An alternative sign in Urdu which would take them up the stairs and off the top of the building would be suitable.

Fruits vs. Obesity – A Public Fructification

Fruits are low in calories and highly nutritional already grown on public places at increasing ratios to face obesity trends. Tree climbing also can be a body exercise for people harvesting fruits.

Fruits also have around four times more water content than cookies or any dry processed food. It easily satisfies hunger taking take less overall energy. By keeping a refrigerator full of fruits everybody will get used to it.

In Brazil we are suggesting to increase fruit trees in the public areas changing the country to a large tropical orchard. Then, sidewalks, squares, parks, roadsides will be plenty of free fruits bearing the most delicious and appropriate food to fight obesity. Free fruits also are protected from a wild economic system.

Other countries can join us on a fight against global obesity toward a Public Fructification.

We believe Brazil as a tropical country can tackle obesity and be the leader on such fight. We intend the rural area conquer the cities make it full of fruits.
