For example, designers can help mobilise people to become activists through persuasive communication and services that bring people together. And designers can help spread technologies and existing initiatives by making these more attractive, desirable, affordable or accessible.
Designers can also help to reframe energy: how we use existing forms of energy, where we get it from, how we distribute it, how much energy we need, what we use it for and and how we can utilise naturally occurring forms of energy such as light, heat, gravity, water and even our own kinetic energy (e.g cycling or using the stairs).
