Didn&#8217;t realize that every time I resorted to Google search, I was harming my environment simultaneously. As a blogger I resort to search engines to dig out more information and I swear by Google Search as it is the quickest and trusted source. But recently Harvard University physicist Alex Wissner-Gross has bought Google under a not-so-green limelight. According to his study, conducting two Google searches can have as much of an impact on the environment as boiling a kettle for a cup of tea.  He has sufficient statistics to prove this statement. To be precise, a typical search query generates about 7g of CO2 while boiling a kettle generates about 15g. And if you multiply this with the estimated 200 million daily internet searches all over the globe, the final figures haunt our existence on this green-blue planet.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nHowever Google counters this blame by stating that the new efficiency standards for computers could cut power consumption by the equivalent of 10 to 20 coal-fired plants by 2010.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerenergyreport.com\/2009\/01\/11\/study-google-search-assists-in-ruination-of-environment\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ouch!
