Principle 1: A system is more than the sum of its parts<\/strong>. If you take the system apart these properties are lost, and every part of the system affects every other part. Nothing is outside the system.<\/p>\n

Action<\/strong>: Internalize the concept of the system<\/strong>. Using this simple diagram by Bruce Mau, it’s easy to see how you can understand matter as a long piece of string with two fixed points. Where you pull one bit, others have to give. You can map your projects, your resources and your impact this way.\"Mau\"<\/p>\n

Principle 2. Delayed feedback results in “design traps.”<\/strong> The time-lag that obfuscates what really needs to change, combined with the bounded rationality that comes from operating from what you immediately know, can cause designers to make bad decisions.
Action: Stop designing for the symptom<\/strong>. A lot of design work focuses on making the problem easier to stomach, rather than tackling its problematic source. Something like Recycle Bank<\/a> rewards people for recycling without encouraging them to buy less or buy local. The numbers don’t lie: For every $100 spent locally, about $68 stays in the community, if you buy from a chain store, it’s only $14.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Valerie Casey gave a great presentation last week at SXSW. Here she lays out seven basic, powerful principles of sustainable design applied to social change and movements.<\/p>\n

You may think that as a software developer you are bound by your OS, tools, clients or markets—but you’re really not. Reading this may set you free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
