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!
Because: 1) fairtrade, 2) less revenue from selling you a new device in two years once this one gets obsolete, 3) costs of long-term maintenance, 4) small volumes.
You ever compared a price of fairtrade coffee vs normal one? Yeah, x2. Why? No slave labor, no burned forests, sustainable water usage. But ofc, why would you buy it? It’s double the price.
As I said: they are worth the price. Did you read half my comment and and jumped to mansplain my own phone to me?
