Every email you send consumes electricity and adds a tiny amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. since there are so many of us, and each one send many emails a day, our combined email carbon footprint is enormous. The easiest way to trim its is to stop sending useless emails, such as the "Thank You" message you send to your boss / friends / colleagues reflexively. It was found in a British survey.

1 email = 1g of Co2
64m - Unnecessary emails sent daily in UK and 71% Britons won't mind not receiving "Thank You" mails.

16,433 Tonnes Co2 emissions cut if each Briton send 1 less email a day. That's equivalent to cancelling 81,152 London-Madrid flights, or 88270 Delhi-Mumbai Flights.
