This isn’t exactly a tip of any kind, just some information to share. I read recently that Google searches are costly to the environment. Here’s a paragraph taken from the above titled news article:
While millions of people tap into Google without a thought for the environment, a typical search generates about 7g of CO2. Boiling a kettle generates about 15g.
This stems from the belief that Google uses very high energy consumption to keep its servers in a state of high performance at all times. The more we use Google’s search engine, the more Google needs to upkeep its performance to meet our demands.
But then again I believe it’s not just Google that needs high power consumption to run its business effectively. Many other companies do, it’s just that they are probably not as high key and talked about as Google.
So whatever it is, I do think that we should give Google a break.

May be we should find a solution to that matter but to give google a break mmm… might not work.
Oh what I meant by giving Google a break is to stop picking on them…and not about stop using its search engine. Sorry for the miscomm!
