Each operational computer’s ecological footprint

383 kg of natural resources
1.17 million kg of water (= 1.17 billion L of water; each of us in Canada personally uses about 0.01 billion over our entire lifetime)
4.67 kg of fossil fuels
36 kg of solid waste - could be diverted
0.25 tonnes of air emissions - could be scrubbed

The above does not consider manufacture of computer or indirect environmental impacts
