KDE is turning 30 this year!

KDE contributor Farid inspired us to take on the “30 for 30” challenge: for our 30th birthday, we are asking you to do something to help the environment and make the planet a nicer place to live in. Farid is planting 30 trees and we want you to come up with something similar.

Film you and your crew carrying out your effort and we will promote your project on social media.

Here are some more ideas:

• Rescue 30 computers (or more!) from ending up in a landfill
• Upcycle 30 phones with a free mobile operating system
• Clean up 30 hectares of woodland
• Convert 30 people to a free operating system
• Take 30 techbros to court so they stop building AI datacenters

Via.
