## Resource

In this episode, we evaluate the surprising environmental costs of AI. From its massive energy demands to the water used in cooling data centers, AI's impact extends far beyond the digital world. Did you know that some companies implementing AI have reversed their carbon-neutral goals, backsliding by as much as 60%? Alycia challenges you to think differently about AI, viewing it as a resource-intensive tool rather than a must-have for every task. She offers practical tips for eco-conscious tech use, like switching to browsers such as Ecosia, which prioritize clean energy and reforestation.
