[Free report ] YES! Your “thank you” emails pollute the environment!! |

Sending e-mails, surfing on the Internet ... Who would imagine that these daily actions, pollute the environment in the same proportions as air traffic? In reality behind the whole internet network, there are computer servers that work all year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week generating a huge amount of CO2. Contrary to popular belief, sending an e-mail weighing 1 megabyte generates almost 20 grams of CO2 equivalent (I can let you imagine how the impact is with the 300 Billion emails sent every year). No one ever wonders how a simple click on the “send” button can have such repercussions! Obviously, you cannot ask the people of the world overnight to reduce or even stop sending emails. Email is a fantastic tool, like the internet, and the world needs it. But you can, at your own scale, limit the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions that result from this daily use. First of all, try to reduce unnecessary emails as much as possible. Install anti-spam software or make sure to limit them by unsubscribing from newsletters that do not interest you. Finally, empty your inbox and the spam box regularly. This data is stored in serves and consequently takes up space and energy. |

I haven't idea about it. In this way people should reduce using phones, for instance unnecessary surfing in Instagram, Facebook, chatting in messengers.I will tell my friends about it and we will reduce needless emails and empty inbox, spam. Thanks for information.

Hello Nour Jennane, this is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for the report about the interesting fact. I didn't know that 1MB of Email can produce carbon dioxide! It would be more plausible if you attached the reasoning statistic for this fact, but, anyway your fact about 'digital CO2' was really impressive. Actually, thinking like that, our activities all can produce carbon dioxide, and we have to reduce it very strictly in order to prevent global warming!
Thank you for the report!
Green cheers!

Hi Nour Jennane, this is a mentor Sang Su Lee.
This was really creative article. I've never thought that sending an email would pollute the earth by emitting CO2 gases into the atmosphere. It's so interesting. Thank you for sharing such information. This makes me to carefully write and send emails.
Cheers!
P.S. Please add sources that you refer to when you mentioned about CO2 emission per one email send button.
