A Tiny Improvement, But Still …

From a Freakonomics Radio listener named Luke Charley:

I am a 21-year-old male college student in Bismarck, ND. I listen to your podcast quite a bit, and I found the one about the energy saved by houses — I believe it was in the podcast titled “Riding the Herd Mentality.” Well, the weight room I frequent often had plates not racked back up after people were done working out. They would just leave them on the floor and it bothered me quite a bit. So I decided to write a sign saying, “Everybody else racks their weights, please do the same.” In the past two weeks since I have done that, every day when I have been in there, there were no weights on the floor! Applying what you learn on a podcast to a weight room is quite invigorating.

Way to go, Luke! Delighted this worked out (so far, at least) …
