KDE Eco

### Join the sustainable software movement
Software has a direct effect on energy and resource consumption. KDE has the goal of providing software which does this in a way that reduces software's environmental impact.
Let’s make energy efficient software and digital sustainability part of our community. We can live up to our responsibility for this and future generations!
[Join KDE Eco](https://eco.kde.org)
### KDE Eco Handbook
The handbook “Applying The Blue Angel Criteria To Free Software” gives an overview of the environmental harm driven by software and how the Blue Angel ecolabel—the official environmental label of the German government—provides a benchmark for sustainable software design. Learn how Free Software’s values of transparency and user autonomy foster sustainability, as well as how to set up a dedicated lab to measure your software’s energy consumption!
