WHAT IS THE PROBLEM - SUSTAINABILITY BEYOND LIGHT GLOBES AND WATER BUCKETS?

摘要: This paper presents a methodology in an attempt to address the lacuna between scale of unsustainability described literature – and initiatives employed by designers general public reduce their ecological impact. For example, ‘if every Australian household switched renewable energy stopped driving cars tomorrow, total emissions would decline by only about 18%’ [1, p. 291] - How can design identify engage remaining 82% emissions? The was developed for ongoing industry project impact aged care delivery. makes connections objective approach Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) identifying source greatest impact, creative problem solving within service industry. is completed three phases. I: holistic streamlined LCA where is, II: participatory ideation workshops develop potential solutions, Finally III: sustainability action plan, immediate solutions implementation longer term strategy significantly resources emissions. At time publication phase I has been addresses conference’s themes connecting disciplines engineering product design. Aspects are unique as they originated tools education, have into applications.
