I'm happy to join this conversation since I've been lurking for a few days. I'm the founder of the Designers Accord (www.designersaccord.org).
I announced the endorsement of the Accord by AIGA and IDSA this weekend, but this initiative wasn't created by either organization. I work at IDEO, but the Accord is not attached to one firm in particular. The Designers Accord is a discipline-agnostic not-for-profit organization. In fact, I am an interaction designer with about 15 years of experience designing all sorts of things %u2013 from UI to physical products and environments. When I started this project it was easiest to focus on the tangibles in our environment -- both in terms of describing the concept and making the mission "real" to people. However, I am eager to ask this community about how you think social and environmental sustainability fits with interaction design. Many people just focus on energy efficient hosting and virtual communities. I know there's more. My goal is to include all designers in this movement, especially my own tribe! - Valerie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
