Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn’t a competition, it’s a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
Be excellent to each other.
