The World Bank Water Global Practice’s Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) recently released a working paper identifying findings that support new tactics for habit change in open defecation behavior. These advances draw from the fields of psychology, cognitive science, and behavioral science and were first outlined in the 2015 World Development Report (WDR) on Mind, Society, and Behavior. WDR presents new insight into how people make decisions: thinking automatically, thinking socially, and thinking

In 1968, the job of a sanitation worker was one of the toughest and most unsanitary jobs in Memphis.

and this can be a threat to the livelihood and well being of the Ghanaian population. Ghana is identified as being highly vulnerable to climate change as it plays a significant role in the sanitation system. Climate change is one of the most significant challenges for the 21st century and poses risks to sanitation and water services. 20 As water and climate change are linked to each other, the effects of climate change are first felt through water then through droughts, floods and storms.21 There are

hundred and twenty million citizens (Poo2Loo). What exactly does this mean for the global sanitation problem in India? With 143 million pounds of excrement being dumped daily, threatening infections and diseases are looming as significant problems. Even those who have and use a toilet are still affected because they share the same water sources as those who practice open defecation. In order to fix the sanitation problems in India, as well as in the world, we must make the idea of the word poop not
