In celebration of Earth Day, we are pleased to share a new piece from NLL Faculty Director Dr. Tina Grotzer and Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Lydia Cao: EarthXDesign for a Sustainable World: Moving from Human-Centered to Earth-Centered Design. In this piece, Grotzer and Cao argue that while Human-Centered Design may be helpful in terms of getting people to adopt innovations, it may not serve humans well in living sustainably and in a green economy. Instead, they call for a paradigm shift toward an Earth-Centered Design approach that puts Planet Earth at the center and consider humans in relation with the planet.
