“I guess I feel a little bad now
when I turn on the dryer, but,
I mean, I’m not gonna not
wash [or dry] my clothes!”
James Pierce, Eric Paulos Living Environments Lab
A vocabulary of energy-conserving
“They *must* be giving you these options for a reason.
Now, I suppose if I bought a washing that only had a
cold cycle on it, then that’s what I’d do.”
James Pierce, Eric Paulos Living Environments Lab
1. Everyday consumption is often not guided by reflective,
rationally motivated thought.
2. Direct and explicit motivation may be extremely limited in
altering many routine practices.
3. Our (designed) material environments, including devices and
appliances, give structure to everyday practices and energy
consumption.

Instead of trying to convince people to use less energy, we can “script” products and systems for energy-
conserving interactions.

“I always thought [energy] was just like this abstract thing...
but now with all these different like, solar powered, hand
powered things, and wind powered things I can actually
like see it. It’s become more tangible.”
