+What can YOU do?
+
+With or without a computer: - Before starting any project, meeting, software development, or action, take time to do nothing and simply observe the situation from multiple perspectives. Ideally, include all stakeholders (human and non-human) in the process. - Join or start a citizen science or sensing project. - Once data is collected and evidence is gathered, collaborate with others to take action (e.g., file a lawsuit against a polluting factory, data center, or airport).
+
+When creating and maintaining software, digital tools or infrastructure: - Take time to observe the problem alongside the people you're designing for. - Incorporate sensors and data on surrounding environment into support systems - Assess whether the problem you're trying to solve genuinely requires computation at all. (See Principle 3b).
