Eco-feedback technology provides feedback on individual
or group behaviors with a goal of reducing environmental
impact. The history of eco-feedback extends back more

two overarching questions: (1) what can HCI learn from
environmental psychology and (2) what role should HCI
have in designing and evaluating eco-feedback technology?
To help answer these questions, this paper conducts a
