Spam mails and energy wastage

A McAfee research on carbon footprints of email indicated that a typical year of incoming mail for a user (sending, filtering and reading) creates a carbon footprint of around 135 kg. This equates to driving 360 kilometers in an average car. The most astonishing fact was that 78 per cent of all incoming emails are spam. According to the report, around 62 trillion spam messages are sent every year, requiring the use of 33bn kilowatt hours (KWh) of electricity and causing around 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
