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!

    The trick with Android phones, I’ve found, is to charge wirelessly whenever you can. Otherwise the USB port does wear out quickly.

      @floofloof Yes - if you phone has wireless charging. Most do not. My current phone has an almost totally broken USB port. I’m considering cracking it open to add wireless charging capability. Or I could just find another cheap phone.
