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.
