Googling will wreck the environment!

Techcrunch gives us some realistic comparisons, and a suggestion that will both save the environment, and make you healthy — eat less cheeseburgers. Saying that Google is pumping an unreasonable amount of CO2 into the air is simply rediculous — considering Google does everything it can to make themselves as energy efficient as possible. This includes covering their headquarters in solar panels, and building data centers that take advantage of hydroelectricity.
