The internet’s infrastructure emits more carbon than the airline industry and consumes billions of liters of fresh water. Digital is always physical. While we focus on user convenience, we often overlook the harm to ecosystems. In this talk, you’ll learn how to design digital experiences that consider their wider environmental impact — and why designing only for the user is no longer enough.
