Since the average use of a computer in the United States is two and a half years, many computers that still have a lot of potential collect dust or end up in a landfill. With this eye-opening fact in mind, Project GreenED's purpose is to gather laptops and desktops in good working condition and donate them to schools in developing countries that are less fortunate to have them. The "GreenED Team" will clean, format (if needed), and install Edubuntu, an educational version of Linux. After going through this process, the equipment will be donated to hand-picked schools in Brazil that are less fortunate to have this technology. Looking further in the future, we hope to eventually expand this project to other schools in Latin America.
We understand that not every computer that we receive will be working. Therefore, we will attempt to use every working part and then allocate the remains of non-working computers to recycling companies that do so in an earth-friendly way.
Social - Sustainable - Green.
