We live in a world where the scarcity of natural resources such as energy and water are rising. Man-made aspects of life such as living space and roads are also having to cope with rising demand. To achieve NetZero, we may have to live with such resource limitations in the future, so how might we respond as user-centred designers? This thought-provoking participatory session used a set of crowd-sourced experiences of ‘sharing and scheduling’ during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020 as a springboard to examine how the collected data could be used to support the design process for imagined futures and to discuss what other design research questions it might generate.
