Opt Green

Independent, energy-efficient Free & Open Source Software for long-term hardware use.

Be Green (End User)

Opt in to lower energy demands, extended hardware life, device independence, and user control for a healthier digital society.

Grow Green (Advocate)

Grow Green (Advocate)

Build communities and user support networks to bring the benefits of independent, sustainable software to your hometown.

Make Green (Dev)

Make Green (Dev)

Develop applications and software features with a focus on efficiency and sustainability for this and future generations.

Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) guarantees transparency and user autonomy, by design. These are not features, but inherent qualities to open development and software licensing. As a result, software and hardware are no longer dependent on vendors for support.

What makes FOSS sustainable?

Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) guarantees transparency and user autonomy, by design. These are not features, but inherent qualities to open development and software licensing. As a result, software and hardware are no longer dependent on vendors for support.

FOSS can be studied and improved independently, including in its energy consumption. Premature hardware obsolescence is a thing of the past. FOSS runs on devices that are decades old. Keep your computer in use to the end of the hardware operating life, not the software.
