This week we go deep on the story nobody in Big Tech wants you to connect: AI is draining the planet's water, burning fossil fuels to keep up, and the people most affected had no say in any of it.
We cover:
Pope Leo XIV's 42,000-word encyclical Magnifica Humanitas — why the most influential religious institution on Earth dedicated its first major document to calling out AI's environmental footprint, and why it landed differently than the headlines suggested
The UN University report that put a number on AI's water crisis — and what evaporative cooling actually means for the communities living next to data centers
The Gen Z values gap: 79% care about sustainability, only 35% will pay extra for it — and why that's not hypocrisy, it's a broken system
Why Viro is free, and why the business model is part of the mission
Plus: we're asking you what we should do about the water.
