Right? We're so sorry that you can't stand the thought of other people not being on their phones in order to find out what plant they are looking at, but there really is a very simple solution. Don't go there, and don't be one of those people looking at those plants.

You write as if I'm foaming at the mouth typing this. I'm using the comments section to comment about something. I think it's dumb and I won't think about it ever again.

In any case it's not actually phone-free, just a publicity stunt.

The way that I phrased my comment was a little rude. I apologize. I was meaning to agree with the parent poster, but in doing so I was uncharitable with my interpretation of your comment. I shouldn't have taken such a dismissive attitude, that doesn't really help anything.

They put a sticker on people's devices and ask them top pretty please not use them. Anyone can still go there and use their phones as much as they like. It's another social advertising campaign by 'Parks and Wildlife Finland', intended to be spread around internet forums and social media. Doesn't cost them anything, it's a clever idea. And some food for thought, you'd never know about it if you weren't online, nor would you ever have heard of this random island. Of which Finland has hundreds of similar ones.

I love the sticker idea to break habits. Very smart.
