Perhaps one way of encouraging greater participation would be to make a viral sport of tracking, then shaming, embarrassing and jamming the daily activities of the Über wealthy and those who abuse social and ethical contracts. Sort of like a (non-violent) fight club of operatives in a competition that is documented and posted on social media.
