I cannot believe the amount of people missing the point entirely, and actually stating that datacenter(s) and the global Internet backbones are worse for the environment than the literal MILLIONS of physical plastic discs that reach landfills every year since inception.

Incredible.

Maybe they're smart enough to realize a MILLION CDs stacked floor to ceiling occupy the space of a restroom handicapped stall. An amount of trash so inconsequential it's not even worth discussing, and delusional to think it's remotely a problem.

Yes, datacenter(s) and the global Internet backbones are worse for the environment than a single dumpster's worth of trash per year.
