User Experience in the Age of Sustainability

Focuses on the economic, sociological, and environmental movement in business to make all products including digital ones more sustainable. Not only are businesses finding a significant ROI from these choices, customers are demanding this responsible behaviour.

The author looks at user experience practice through the lens of sustainability whether it be a smart phone, service-based subscription solutions, or sustainable packaging to expose the ways in which user researchers and designers can begin to connect to sustainability not merely as a theoretical concept.
