> The Linux-Ecology-HOWTO discusses ways to make computers less harmful to
|
|
our environment and to solve some ecological issues. It explains how to
|
|
use Linux to save power and consumables like paper and ink. 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.
