Every time you use the internet or a.i to find questions you use resources from datacenters. Doesn't mean that they should be destroying the environment and shouldn't be held accountable for pollution but it also means that you're using the resources that they provide.

If you use more resources = the need to build more of them.

We do need to clean up the dirty water and find better ways to power such but it is what it is.
