Google/Alphabet likes to greenwash that it is environmentally friendly, uses offsets to claim it is carbon neutral.

Meanwhile it has (programs in) expiration dates on Chromebooks. Schools are major purchasers, and Oakland has 40,000 Chromebooks for students that will expire soon--hurting school districts & the environment!!!
