With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste!
Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.
Software can determine how long a device remains in use.
Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.
Software freedom means hardware freedom.

Today I am tremendously grateful for the 300K donors who gave a record-breaking amount to the @thunderbird Project in 2022.
And I'm tremendously thankful to be part of such an incredible #OpenSource project. One that is undoubtedly thriving, when only a few years ago its existence was in question.
Here is the 2022 Financial Report for #Thunderbird. I hope it inspires you to consider a financial gift to your own favorite #FOSS project.
As you'll see, it matters:
