As I’m someone who moves from city to city, each time I get in a new city, I switch the contract of our flat to the more sustainable energy package. It’s a few clicks and then it’s done and I don’t have to think about it again.

You can do the same for the website hosting provider you choose (1) and ask your partners and suppliers if they could do the same on their side.

Action question

Which services do you use that use energy? Ask them if you can switch to a renewable plan.

Daniele's notes

• This is the first shitty draft of this principle

• This principle might one day make it in the fifth book in the "Service Design Principles" series that explores how to better serve humans and the planet.

• If you're curious about service design principles, you can get the four previous books in the series, with proofread principles and less grammatical creativity.
