"Keeping your stuff working for longer is the best way to decrease the carbon
footprint of your personal technology. Mining and manufacturing have more
carbon emissions than the use of your stuff, by far—more than 80% of a laptop’s
carbon footprint comes from its creation.

But keeping stuff working longer doesn’t always mean resigning yourself to slow
memory and full drives. You can get more out of your stuff by upgrading your
storage and memory—for only a tiny fraction of the environmental impact of
buying new. To help you make that happen, we’re teaming up with Micron-Crucial
to make it affordable and easy to upgrade your laptop."
