> The Ecology-HOWTO discusses ways Linux computers can be used as a means to
|
|
protect our environment, by using its features to save power or paper. Since
|
|
it does not require big hardware, Linux may be used with old computers to
|
|
make their life cycle longer. Games may be used in environmental education
|
|
and software is available to simulate ecological processes.
