Here at WebTVHub we love a good flashmob. We’ve come to associate this modern phenomenon with large dancing crowds, but this video shows us that flashmobs can educate too.

It all starts simply with a man leaving a plastic bottle on a shopping mall floor, a couple of feet away from a recycling bin. As shoppers pass we begin the wonder, is anyone going to recycle that bottle.

Soon enough a Good Samaritan appears, and is treated to an effusive fanfare for her efforts. Wouldn’t we all like that kind of reception whenever we do a good deed?

I wish I knew enough French to read the captions, but the message comes through loud and clear in anyone’s language.
