Parents could respond quickly and consistently to infant crying
By Hicbd
"If a !Kung infant cries, 88 percent of crying bouts receive a response within 3 seconds, and almost all bouts receive a response within 10 seconds. Mothers respond to !Kung infants by nursing them, but many responses are by nonmothers (especially other adult women), who react by touching or holding the infant. The result is that !Kung infants spend at most one minute out of each hour crying, mainly in crying bouts of less than 10 seconds—half that measured for Dutch infants. Many other studies show that 1-year-old infants whose crying is ignored end up spending more time crying than do infants whose crying receives a response."

Positive deviance could be used to produce beneficial behavioral change and outcomes
By Hicbd
"Positive Deviance is based on the observation that in every community there are certain individuals or groups whose uncommon behaviors and strategies enable them to find better solutions to problems than their peers, while having access to the same resources and facing similar or worse challenges. The Positive Deviance approach enables the community to discover these successful behaviors and strategies and develop a plan of action to promote their adoption by all concerned."

People could use and have access to community solar farms or solar gardens
By Hicbd
A solar garden is a grouping of solar panels connected to local electric utility and shared by community subscribers whom receive billing credits and tax benefits. This could be more convenient than installing solar panels on one's home or if one does not own property.
