This guiding principle leads to solutions that fit the user best, not the designer. The design-thinking process inspires empathy, collaboration, and innovative thinking. Each title in this unique series features case studies related to social change and engaging hands-on learning. Designing Green Communities, People in green communities try to lessen the impact they have on the environment where they live. The combined efforts of green communities help protect the global environment we all share. This introduction to the design-thinking process shows how to create environmentally sustainable practices in your community. Finding ways to make these options accessible to everyone can also lead to solutions to big issues-such as limiting the use of non-renewable energy.
