Abstract
By changing behaviours to more sustainable practices it is possible to greatly reduce the environmental impact of the individual. This paper illustrates industrial designers need to understand behavioural change for sustainable design. It proposes action research as suitable tool for designers to engage with behavioural change, and discusses the implications for teaching action research to industrial design students.
