The aim of this project is to research and analyse the possibilities of new technologies in creating environmental awareness, changing people's no ecological behaviours’ and persuading users towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
I thought of developing a research about environmental education through technology mainly because of three reasons. First, I deeply believe in the idea "Think globally, act locally". I believe raising environmental awareness locally and consciousness of the importance of individual behaviour are key factors to develop sustainable society and lifestyle. Second, I believe technology has potential to reshape our behaviours and attitudes and I consider in some cases it can be the most suitable tool for it. Third, I am interested both in new media and sustainable living and I am motivated to use my knowledge to create something useful for society.

In addition to the research and as a reflection of it, I will design a piece of technology probably in the shape of a game or educative application. At this stage I haven't decided yet how it will be exactly or to which target group it will be addressed. I will try it to reflect the conclusions achieved during the research as well as to keep it simple and effective for its objective: educate and persuade towards a sustainable lifestyle.
