According to this article, performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle for a cup of tea. The article follows research conducted by scientists at Harvard University. Reading a little more on the subject, there seems to be some debate in regards to how big an impact a Google search has on the environment. Having said this I'm sure most people will agree that the impact of a single Google search needn't be so large to cause an environmental impact, when you take into consideration the amount of Google searches conducted every day. Reading your post has put my consciousness at ease some. It's good to know that Google does consider issues such as these and takes massive steps to help improve the environment rather than follow blind commercialism. When company's such as Google actively work to improve not just the inner workings of their business, but also the environment, surely that bodes well for all of us and where we are heading as responsible beings?
