Please describe a domain or an area of opportunity that you’d like to use as the focus for the design of a PRODUCT, SERVICE, or BUILT FEATURE that supports or promotes sustainable behaviors and practices for INDIVIDUALS in day-to-day use.
For this first design project, focus your thinking on:
- a PRODUCT -- something physical that can be manufactured, distributed, purchased, and potentially held in your hand or carried with you.
- 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.
Please share your initial thoughts in a few paragraphs below…
The domain that I’d like to focus on is….
Transportation emissions, specifically, emissions that result from driving, and minimizing driving emissions. The idea’s service and application based.
This area is important/interesting to me because….
Transportation is 50% or so of worldwide GHG emissions. A majority chunk of these emissions are a result of driving. Reducing driving and driving less as a result reduces net emissions and steps away from a highly consumer-based transportation economy
