Sustainability through Computing

Bill Tomlinson's book, Greening Through IT: Information Technology for Environmental Sustainability promotes the use of informatics to help us live greener lives. This book review by Nick Salafsky suggests that the book could be enhanced by following interactive design principles, such as those used in the development of Miradi Adaptive Management Software. This type of "agile programming" is analogous to the adaptive management approaches being implemented by conservation organizations to tackle complex environmental problems.
