GHG emmission
Every spam mail contributes 0.3grm of CO2, It might not sound like much until you
consider that the Carbon Footprint of Spam
Report estimates 62 trillion spam emails were
sent in 2008
“Globally, annual spam energy use totals 33
billion kilowatt hours (KWh), or 33 terawatt
hours (TWh). That’s equivalent to the
electricity used in 2.4 million homes in the
United States, with the same GHG emissions as 3.1 million
passenger cars using two billion United States gallons of
gasoline,”
The good
news is that spam filtering saves 135TWh of electricity per
year – the equivalent of taking 13 million cars off the road
