Description
KDE Eco has a new project funded by the Umweltbundesamt (UBA) called "Sustainable Software For Sustainable Hardware".
The goal of this project is to reduce e-waste by promoting the adoption of KDE / Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) and raising awareness about the critical role software plays in the long-term,
efficient use of hardware.
In this lightning talk, I will discuss the work I am doing introducing KDE/FOSS to pupils, with a focus on its environmental benefits.
I will share ideas on how to get schools involved in teaching pupils about reusing old hardware with FOSS.
Finally, I will present some of the projects that we have already implemented in schools in Germany.
