Understand the current state Carbon Diem Mobile app that calculates the user’s carbon footprint. It identifies the user’s mode of transport through speed and distance data (via the handset’s GPS).

Some design principles 35 Vodafone User Experience | 20 January 2010 Sustainability

Design systems that support change, not just features Involve people in the creation and delivery of services. Data gives an unprecedented level of information, but must be made meaningful We don’t base our choices on information alone Context is king Help people deepen their participation Use social dynamics to foster change Sustainable fun (low impact + long term + generative) 36 Vodafone User Experience | Sustainability
