This document discusses sustainability and the role of digital designers. It notes that digital designers can help refine consumption patterns through user experience design that encourages more sustainable behaviors. Examples discussed include apps that provide information on green living, efficient transportation routes, energy monitoring and savings, and citizen science. The document argues that digital designers need to consider civil off-boarding and the emotional impacts of using and stopping use of products in order to encourage long-term behavior change. It provides examples of small design interventions for more sustainability, such as educating users about flight options and remote work.
