- a SERVICE or APPLICATION -- something that you can order, subscribe to, or use (in-person or online) -- that will support and promote the sustainability and resilience goals of your potential users.
- a SPACE, PLACE, or BUILDING FEATURE — that supports or promotes sustainability in the day-to-day activities of individual users.

This area is important/interesting to me because….
My both high school and college experiences showed me that there is a really rapid circulation of information each day and we are being exposed to all. While trying to catch up with everything we are missing a lot. If we are an event organizer we would like to see lots of participants but how will we find them? Are they aware of us? Are we just one email line in their mailbox for them like hundreds or thousands of emails that are dropping those mailboxes each day? Are we reading daily announcements, or are we really reading flyers? Aren’t they both energy and paper waste and useless consumption? These questions made me focus on this matter.
