Merit Bin
Pilgrims who visit the holy site of Sri Pada witness unholiest of sights - Garbage. The Rathnapura Divisional Council created special bins for pilgrims, inspired by traditional temple art, to donate garbage instead of donating money. They also rewrote traditional chants to champion the idea of waste disposal as a way of collecting merits. Overall, three and a half times more waste was collected from all garbage bins, while the special bins collected twice as much. Garbage was no longer garbage; it was a meritorious act in the pilgrim's journey towards enlightenment.

Change where you buy your coffee, change the world
Homelessness has doubled in London in the past five years. A traditional advertising solution would not be enough. So we launched Change Please, a new coffee brand staffed by the homeless to help the homeless, giving people an opportunity to work their way off the street. An initial £10k investment unlocked coffee sales of £625k that has helped people make a new start, increased Big Issue sales by 5% and helped save the government £600k. It has delivered a ROMI of £14.50:1.
