One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local, international, in action, and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s — what’s yours?
Like many, Jay Shelowitz recognizes the lack of etiquette on the subway. Unlike many, he’s taken it upon himself to fix it.
The New York-based artist (aka “jayshells”) took casual surveys of city commuters’ pet peeves and began hanging posters throughout the cars and stations in his hometown as friendly reminders. Each is stamped with a logo of the Metropolitan Etiquette Authority.
The posters cover common issues: noise pollution, hygiene, seating priority, use of stairs, physical contact, and nail clipping, to name a few.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
A limited run of 4-color, hand-pulled screen prints can be purchased on his Etsy page for $50 and can be shipped to anywhere in the world (perhaps for use in other vehicles of public transportation …).
Light Rail etiquette, anyone?
