Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!

50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the “tsunami of #eWaste” continues to rise.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

Say hello to the new #KDEEco project “#OptGreen: #SustainableSoftware For Sustainable Hardware”.

You don’t need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!

    As hardware progress continues to slow down, computers last longer and longer. But commerical companies don’t like this, so they introduce arbitrary system requirements. Linux saves the day and you guys are running a good cause.

    I’m happy I don’t have to throw away my perfectly find 12 year old computer.
