Our goal must be the usage of ICT technologies to reduce significantly the worldwide energy consumption and carbon emission. Predictions about energy consumption in 2050 show that nearly 100% renewable energy is possible. On one hand, ICT devices themselves can be much more energy efficient in their usage but also in their fabrication. However, a more significant role for these systems will be to reduce the pressure over our planet in domains like transportation, agriculture, lighting, home control and health monitoring. Nevertheless, people behavioral changes are also definitely required for achieving sustainability. It is also obvious that engineers are the only persons capable of improving planet health by proposing intelligent ICT systems, but today they are not credited for this; it is therefore time for changing the image of engineers.
