Understand, talk about, and act on what AI is

doing to our minds, literacy, and planet.

AI data centers consume billions of gallons of water annually for cooling. A single conversation with ChatGPT can use the equivalent of a small bottle of water. Training large models emits hundreds of tons of CO2. The earth is irreplaceable, and so is the energy we spend on it.

Research shows that writing by hand and drafting original work strengthen memory, comprehension, and critical thinking. When students outsource writing to AI, they lose the cognitive workout that makes them better thinkers, not just better writers.

AI models hallucinate facts, reproduce bias, and generate convincing misinformation at scale. They are trained on data without your consent and deployed without full transparency about what they can and cannot do.
