This compact book contains the bare minimum an interaction designer have to know about design for sustainability. The the first message is that sustainability is the most important design goal. A second message is that information technologies, and in particular pervasive computing are invaluable keys in the quest for sustainability. The third message is that there is a lack of knowledge on sustainability issues in the interaction design community.
A unique meta-level framework structures the content. It is based on a principle of justice that is complemented by circumstances for sustainability, chosen from the perspective of interaction design. We suggest and shortly present the following circumstances: limited shared resources, socio-technical components and structures, technology development, vision and reflection, cognitive and behavioural support, joint ventures and political action.
Within the framework a participatory design approach is promoted based on stories and values.
The exposé concludes with four short case studies. They discuss sustainable design for consumption, character, family and society.
