How Good UX Designers Can Help Save the Planet
This document discusses how UX designers can help fight climate change through sustainable design practices. It begins by outlining some dark UX patterns like climate change denial that harm users and the planet. It then shows data demonstrating the urgent problem of climate change and highlights some positive solutions and progress in green energy technologies. The document argues UX designers have power to advocate for users and sustainability. It provides six ways for UX professionals to be more sustainable, such as discussing sustainable product development, lowering their own carbon footprint, and volunteering skills to organizations fighting climate change. The overall message is that UX design has an important role to play in addressing the global challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability.
Alan Douglas, Cleanergy
The document discusses how anaerobic digestion (AD) can support local authority waste plans. It summarizes presentations given by a panel on the topic, including Alan Douglas from Cleanergy, who discussed Cleanergy's technology for combusting contaminated biogas to produce cleaner gas for energy production. He noted barriers to further AD development like disorganized feedstock collection and the need for long-term feedstock contracts. The panel explored how AD can complement large-scale facilities to optimize output, and how government policies could help encourage more investment in the sector.
Clean Air
Hybrid vehicles produce 80% fewer harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases than standard cars, helping create cleaner air and a healthier environment for current and future generations. Transportation is the second largest source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing 28% of total emissions, and passenger vehicle miles traveled has increased 34% from 1990 to 2011, emphasizing the need to switch to cleaner hybrid options.
Corporate Sustainability
The document analyzes how 200 large companies communicate about climate change and sustainability on their websites. It finds that most companies accept the scientific consensus on climate change, assert the need for public policy action, and highlight economic opportunities in sustainability. Many collaborate with environmental groups and aim to influence suppliers and customers to reduce emissions.
Instead of scarcity we’re on way to achieve abundance
This document discusses alternatives to addressing climate change through production changes rather than climate policies. It argues that new technologies are enabling abundance in areas like water, food, education and healthcare. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro are growing exponentially and could power countries completely. Transitioning to renewable energy and implementing a carbon fee dividend could provide a just transition to a clean future with education and jobs. The document promotes embracing efficient solutions that bridge ecology and economy.

Review Of Green Job Estimations For Co (2)
This document summarizes two reports on green jobs in Colorado from 2007. One report estimated around 17,000 green jobs, while the other estimated around 91,000 jobs, with the difference largely due to differing definitions of green jobs. The report with the higher estimate used a broader, occupational approach, while the lower estimate used a narrower industry approach. The report also breaks down the top renewable energy and energy efficiency jobs in Colorado, finding energy efficiency employed far more workers than renewable energy. The top renewable energy employer was the federal government, while the leading energy efficiency industry was recycling and waste management.

Henry Iler
Nationwide, local governments are struggling to incorporate green/sustainable practices into plans and codes. Climate Action Plans provide energy reduction targets, but can be light on how “to get there.” Comprehensive plans and LDCs have to be
modified in big ways to get real community-wide implementation. Learn about a Florida city going far beyond HB 697 by preparing a Green Element as the first element in its Comprehensive Plan,
and the model “Sustainable Community Development Code,”prepared by the Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute, with related
implementation case studies, plus the latest data on cost-savings associated with “going green.”

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
