''OLPCO2e'' was a project and plan of action proposed by Sven Aerts along the plan of action Agenda 21-Chapter IV and MDG nr.2, to somehow define the Low Carbon Economy-potential and more in particular the CO2e-certificates'potential that could be monetized by investing in green, environmentally friendly laptops such as the XO, rather than traditional power-hungry machines. The proposed project got as far as registering a domain at [http://www.olpco2e.org OLPCO2e.org] (which redirects to this page) and setting up a few administrative pages. The project as a whole did not proceed after Sven left OLPC in mid-2009 after the initiative was not pursued by OLPC Europe. |

*::: OLPC doesn't have any restricted wikis where active projects are developed. As far as I know (please correct me if I am wrong), OLPC as an organization isn't involved with an OLPCO2e project, and no updates have been posted here about it since it was abandoned in April. Using that name for a project that isn't related to OLPC seems misleading. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] |
