Green Design Principles that every designer can use to combat climate change
Digital = Physical
- Recent Microsoft’s Green Design Principles can prevent us from fueling a climate crisis:
-
- Get started backpack on digital sustainability — the climate crisis doesn’t happen in a vacuum, big change starts small, talking about climate can be hard, digital is physical
- Think bigger before you start — challenge the status quo, put care first
- Build better by default — optimize, transparent, adaptable
- “The Cloud” doesn’t exist — every design has physical implications and this one is a massive warehouse causing the environment harm.
- Well-intentioned designs often result in unintended consequences that’s why designers need better ways to visualize their impact.
- Designers can train AI in order to preserve the planet by employing the energy-intensive cloud and the AI it enables to understand environmental impacts.
- Some of the most engrained paradigms of the tech industry are the least sustainable and product makers need new ways of working.
