Points: 5
Select a consumer product that is commonly disposed of either into the legal waste stream or illegally as litter. Batteries are a good example if you can't think of one.
1. (1 point) Identify the "action arena" - see the coordinated strategy framework
2. (2 points) Identify, or make up, benefits for a set of actors that would make this a dilemma. For example, show how consumers, manufacturers, and the government might have different optimum solutions but that a solution for cooperation exists. In the aluminum can industry this is as simple as that the manufactures want all the pollution costs to be paid by taxes, not by any sort of special product incentives.
3. ( 1 point) Create a scenario by which these different actors could be induced to cooperate without external government intervention. This is the hard case, rather than just passing a law.
4. (1 point) Compare the case that you have created to the successful application of deposits for aluminum cans.
