This is also one great link. An NGO in India is doing something unconventional to fight off corruption: by distributing fake money bills to any citizen who asks.
The thing works like this. If someone in government asks you something in exchange for any service, you give him or her the fake bill (valued at "0"), an act of defiance in the part of the citizen. It's supposed to have been proven to work in that country, with a lot of people claiming that by doing such an act, the government official in question did not anymore pursue collecting the bribe".
But don't let me rat out all the details. Here's the link to the article.
Wish we had something like this in the Philippines.
