This was posted on LinkedIn so sharing here

If all email users (2.3 billion people) deleted just 10 emails that would save 38,035 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions. That's approximately equivalent to 19356 tonnes of coal burnt

So how does it work?
Emails are usually stored at multiple servers around the world, the servers are stored at big data centres that use tons of electricity to keep the servers running. The electricity is generated by fossil fuels which then results in carbon emissions.

So here's how you can help:
• delete unwanted mails
• unsubscribe from mailing list which you don't find interesting
• empty bin and spam folder on regular basis

Let's contribute to save the earth.
