Earth's uniqueness in creating a stable environment for life in a completely hostile space is a miracle. Various life forms have taken billions of years to build up the natural resources humans depend on, such as a protective atmosphere, fertile soil, stable weather, and clean drinking water. As a movement to democratize technology development and knowledge creation, open source has the potential to become the central driver in preserving this stability. Open Sustainable Technology's mission is to gather projects that preserve natural ecosystems through open technology, methods, data, intelligence, knowledge or tools.

If your project doesn't meet the community, documentation, or usage criteria because it's in its early stages, don't hesitate to create a pull request. We will label the pull request "Under Observation" so that we can review it later. If you wish, we can use our social media channels to help you find contributing communities and users.
