Why I stood outside of Google’s office for longer-lasting Chromebooks

I stood outside of Google’s office in Cambridge calling to extend the life of Chromebooks. These laptops aren’t designed to last. Google could double the lifespan of these laptops, saving schools money and helping the environment. Now, we need to show the overwhelming support for action. Sign the petition calling on Google to extend the life of Chromebooks.

Tell Google: Extend the life of Chromebooks

The pandemic pushed schools to provide every student with their own device, often turning to Chromebooks. A laptop for every student is likely here to stay, but now this new tech is failing. Tech should last longer. Tell Google to stop the Chromebook Churn.
