The heading is a bit misleading. GPT usage is not "not bad for the environment", many people just have other worse habits in their lives. (Of course there is always a conversation that needs to happen about the outcome: Flying for shits and giggles or flying to meet a dying relative for a last time have the same CO2 footprint but are not the same. Those kinds of cheet sheets evade actual conversations by making everything abstract and without context)

I'm glad somebody out there is brave enough to push back against the "personal ChatGPT usage is terrible for the environment" message https://andymasley.substack.com/p/a-cheat-sheet-for-conversations-about "If you want to prompt ChatGPT 40 times, you can just stop your shower 1 second early." "If I choose not to take a flight to Europe, I save 3,500,000 ChatGPT searches. this is like stopping more than 7 people from searching ChatGPT for their entire lives."
