In contrast, AI data centers consume vast amounts of water, primarily for cooling their high-powered servers. While some hyperscale operators have begun experi- menting with water reuse, most data centers still consume rather than recycle the majority of their water. When using traditional cooling methods, a one-megawatt data center would consume upwards of 26 million liters of water an- nually. In regions facing water stress—such as parts of the Western U.S.—this consumption is becoming a growing concern for local governments and environmental watch- dogs. Data centers, fortunately, are starting to find ways to become more efficient in recycling water and utilizing recycled or gray water in the first place. At Two Sides North America, we advocate for a more balanced, fact-based understanding of the environmental impacts of all media—print and digital. While digital tools have undeniable benefits and efficiencies, we must move beyond the outdated narrative that paper is bad and dig- ital is clean. Consumers, policymakers, and businesses deserve accurate information so they can make truly sustainable choices. That includes recognizing the hidden costs of AI and digital platforms, as well as the real and measurable benefits of paper, especially when sourced and produced responsibly.
