Here's more information from the study:

Here is an interesting bit:
‘64 million unnecessary emails sent every day is contributing 23,475 tonnes of carbon a year’ 64,317,204 unnecessary emails sent by Brits every day x1 email = 1g carbon = 0.000001 tonnes CO2e per email (Source: Mike Berners-Lee) 64,317,204 x 0.000001 = 64.317 tonnes CO2e per day 64.317 x 365 = 23,475.779 = 23,476 tonnes CO2e per year
- zzzcpan 7y agoEven if estimates were true, not sending an email still produces the same amount of CO2, or even worse, as people go waste this free time on entertainment, like watching videos, playing games.
