Sustainable design decisions are decisions that
consider the sociotechnical impact of the
alternatives. After designing and analysing
the alternatives, you pick the one that gives
you the best sociotechnical trade-
off with the
information that is available. You create a
feedback loop into your design process to
improve it along the way.
Over time, you will find yourself making
decisions in a similar way. This is when your
decisions become sustainable.
