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

Since we published this video, Google has committed to extend the life of Chromebooks! Learn more about the victory here.

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.
