It presents two strategies for making technology more sustainable — by using technology to address environmental challenges (greening by technology), and by redesigning technology itself to reduce its environmental impact (greening of technology).  Learners are then introduced to concrete principles for sustainable tech design and encouraged to reflect on how these concepts apply to their own field of research or practice.<br /> }}<br /> {{Instruction Step Trainee<br /> |Instruction Step Title=The Environmental Impact of Physical Devices<br /> |Instruction Step Text=Our phones and devices seem small and portable — but their environmental footprint is massive.
