You can do something to combat #EWaste with #FreeSoftware!
Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.
Software can determine how long a device remains in use.
Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.
Software freedom means hardware freedom.
Donate to #KDE and other #FOSS projects to support #SustainableSoftware.

Today people all over the world are sharing #ClimateStripes graphics for #ShowYourStripes day.
#KDE is a world-wide community of software engineers, artists, writers, translators and creators. Therefore, posted below are the warming stripes for the entire globe. The picture is alarming.

What's #software got to do with #sustainability? Glad you asked:
"What is #SustainableSoftware, After All?"

How to hit 3 KDE goals with one proverbial stone!
1. #SustainableSoftware
2. #KDEForAll
3. Automate And Systematize Internal Processes
Learn how Nitin's exciting work on Selenium-AT-SPI in Season of KDE 2023 (#SoK23) made progress in all 3 of KDE's goals at the #KDEEco blog:
https://eco.kde.org/blog/2023-05-04-sok23-kde-eco-selenium-sum-up/
Automated testing is crucial for the continued quality of #KDE software. The #Selenium webdriver automates such tests. Selenium-AT-SPI does the same but for #Qt programs.

Report from the German Parliament: Cornelius Schumacher writes about the "#Nachhaltig by Design" (Sustainable By Design) conference in March.
Read more here:
https://eco.kde.org/blog/2023-04-26-sustainable-by-design/
As Cornelius remarks, there is still a lot to figure out to ensure we minimize the #environmental impact of software, but it is encouraging to see the topic of #green #digitization receiving more attention!

How can something immaterial like software have an #environmental footprint? What do ecolabels have to do with software design? Why do we ❤ Free Software today and every day ... also because it is sustainable software?
We explore these and other questions in #KDEEco's new measurement handbook "Applying The #BlueAngel Criteria To Free Software: A Handbook To Certify Software As #Sustainable".
