Description
There are many areas within organisations and communities where good sustainable activities are taking place. Conversely, bad practices are also prevalent. Currently there are few mechanism or systems to explicitly identify sustainable, productive, unsustainable and/or non-productive activities across organisational and community borders. We attempt to leverage the power and wisdom of the crowds to identify sustainability and productivity concepts, ideas, cases, exemplars, heuristics, rules, approaches, models and processes. Additionally, the system can be leveraged to identify areas of unsustainability and lack of productivity. This enables organisations, communities, and individuals to rectify and address areas of low productivity or unsustainable practices. The main focus of this research is to propose and implement a crowd-sourced approach for sustainability and productivity. The proposed system will support five distinct processes: (1) Capture (2) Curate (3) Discover & Share (4) Collaborate and (5) Persuade people to adopt sustainability and productivity ideas, ideals, principles, and practices.

Crowd Sourced approach towards Sustainability and Productivity
