The big idea
AI uses real electricity. Most uses are tiny but they add up. Small choices help — and connect to bigger climate awareness.
Some examples

- Use AI for actually useful stuff, not just to mess around.
- Notice when you ask AI questions you could easily answer yourself.
- Learn what AI energy costs (it is interesting!).
Try it!
For one week, count how many AI things you generate. Decide which were really worth it. Skip the rest next week.
