Spam & global warming
So who likes spam anyway? not only that its an annoying thing that will stick with us for the rest of our lives but its also killing greeny earth… or that’s what it used to be:
According to “The Carbon Footprint of Email Spam Report,” released by the security firm McAfee, the annual energy used to transmit, process and filter spam totals 33 billion kilowatt-hours (kwh).
you think, holy cow !!! but wait there is more
That amount is equivalent to the electricity used in 2.4 million US homes—and creates the same greenhouse gas emissions as 3.1 million cars using 2 billion gallons of gasoline.
