About 32 litres of water is used in the creation process of a 2-gram, 32-megabyte memory chip and its plastic package. A typical semiconductor factory makes about 2 million integrated circuits per month and gulps about 20 million gallons of water, which is then disposed of as waste
Never mind fossil fuels, keeping a single 60-watt lightbulb lit for 12 hours uses as much as 60 litres of water
