Practical exercise
Calculate your AI carbon footprint for one day
Every AI query passes through data centres burning electricity. In Pakistan that electricity costs the grid, costs your bill, and costs the climate. Today you will count how many AI queries you sent in one day, multiply by the typical cost in water and watts, and compare that to a familiar Pakistani measure: bottles of clean water and minutes of fan running.
