KDE Eco, a KDE project focused
on reducing software's environmental impact, has announced its Opt
Green campaign to reduce e-waste:
Over the next two years, the "Opt Green" initiative will bring what
KDE Eco has been doing for sustainable software directly to end
users. A particular target group for the project is those whose
consumer behavior is driven by principles related to the environment,
and not just price or convenience: the "eco-consumers".
Through online and offline campaigns as well as installation
workshops, we will demonstrate the power of Free Software to drive
down resource and energy consumption, and keep devices in use for the
lifespan of the hardware, not the software.
Our motto: The most environmentally-friendly device is the
one you already own.
See the KDE Eco Get
Involved page for more information on how to participate.
