Amazon's Big Power Plan: Friend or Foe to Our Planet?
Imagine a super-duper big computer brain that needs a super-duper big lunch... but what if that lunch made a giant mess?
Hey Zapplings! We've got some big news about Amazon, that super-famous online store where you can buy almost anything.

Think of a data center like a massive library filled with millions of powerful computers that help run websites, stream videos, and keep games working!
