šŸŽ™ļø AI & The Planet: Uncovering the Climate Cost

What's the environmental price of every prompt we type into ChatGPT?

In this episode of The Digital Collective, we peel back the digital curtain and explore how artificial intelligence is impacting the planet—from rising energy demands and water use in data centers, to the carbon cost of daily AI tasks we barely think about.

As marketers, creators, and digital nomads, we rely on these tools—but what does sustainable use really look like?

šŸŒ In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How much energy and water your AI use actually consumes

  • The surprising climate impact of tools like ChatGPT

  • The difference between AI training and inference

  • Smart, ethical strategies to reduce your digital footprint

  • Why conscious computing is the next creative frontier

Whether you're brainstorming content, building campaigns, or simply curious—this episode will change how you see your ChatGPT screen time.
