We really need each other to thrive; that the best way to learn and grow is together; that the experience of those on the other side of the world really matters. 

Our Earth is our only option. Embodies the idea that there is no Planet B and thus our environment needs to be safeguarded if we and future generations hope to live here.

❗ Chat AI : every conversation costs a bottle of water.

Imagine sitting down at your PC to start a chat with the artificial intelligencez before it can answer your questions you have to get a few glasses of water and give it some to drink. Absurd, isn't it?

A conversation between an average user and a chatbot is roughly equivalent to taking a Iarge bottle of water and throwing it away. Al chats consumed 700,000 liters of water just to keep the data centers that run our digital services fresh.

In the world of artificial intelligence, distinguishing between 'withdrawal' and 'consumption' of water is cruciaL

'Withdrawal' refers to the act of drawing water from natural sources such as rivers or Iakes, while 'consumption' implies the use of water in data centers, which is lost through evaporation during cooling.

This process is vital to keep the servers within the range of 10 to 27 degrees Celsius (50-80 degrees Fahrenheit), an essential range to prevent technical failures.

Servers produce a lot of heat, and to control it, facilities often on cooling towers that use the evaporation of cold water.

While this system does maintain the optimal environment for servers, it raises significant concerns about the environmental impact of the digital age;

Let's try to reduce it by supporting sustainable technologies and promoting more resource- efficient practices.
