If they think the behavior is safe, we should emphasize all the good things that will happen if they do it - they'll want to act immediately to obtain those certain gains. But when people believe a behavior is risky, that approach doesn't work. They're already comfortable with the status quo, so the benefits of change aren't attractive, and the stop system kicks in.

People get their benefits as individuals but we all pay the cost together, same as the doomed mice of Gough island.

Against my canker'd country with the spleen
Of all the under fiends. — William Shakespeare
