Why
To speed up innovation on behalf of sustainability, innovation should be a shared effort, because of the fun of it, the effectiveness of it if done well and the comfort of lack of intellectual ownership. But how to promote it?

Democratizing Innovation- by Eric Von Hippel
Eric von Hippel states that innovation is being democratized, meaning that users of
products and services?both firms and individual consumers?are increasingly able to innovate for themselves. User-centered innovation processes offer great advantages over the manufacturer-centric innovation development systems that have been the mainstay of commerce for hundreds of years. Users that innovate can develop exactly what they want, rather than relying on manufacturers to act as their (often very imperfect) agents.
Moreover, individual users do not have to develop everything they need on their own: they can benefit from innovations developed and freely shared by others.

Artificial Glaciers and other stories of successful change
Real interest in special local conditions and concern for the poverty of the local population led to the innovation of making artificial glaciers. This helped local farmers to irrigate their crops earlier in the season and assured harvest before the colder season fell in.

In Tigray, the Northern Typical Highlands (NTH)
team was formed

together around common interests so that they can solve their

The Centre for Sustainable Design
CfSD facilitates discussion and research on eco-design and environmental, economic, ethical and social (e3s) considerations in product and service development and design. This is achieved through training and education, research, seminars, workshops, conferences, consultancy, publications and Internet. The Centre also acts as an information clearing house and a focus for innovative thinking on sustainable products and services.

Different forms of peep-to-peer interactions
One of the key values of peer progressivism is intellectual and professional diversity; groups that draw on different conceptual frameworks consistently outperform more single-minded groups.
