How might we design eco-friendly leisure trips in 2035 for Gen Z, the first digital natives who love embracing new things?
She proposes a system design solution for 2035 that focuses on local food and dining within the broader context of eco-friendly leisure trips. This project emphasizes an ecology-centered future mindset, where ecological awareness begins with Gen Z dining during their first visit to a city. The sustainable dining actions taken by Gen Z throughout their journey of tasting local food will accumulate in a carbon credit system. These credits can then be redeemed for travel experiences related to the city they visit, reflecting a beautiful vision of a renewable tourism future.
