To fully disambiguate:

x³ = cubed or third power
3^x = the power of 3 (exponentiation)

The volume increases with the third power of the radius, not exponentially like the radial power of 3.

Don't worry about polluting the universe. It is incredibly big compared to that tiny speck we call Earth, of which so far we managed to poison just part of the outer skin.
