How much carbon does it cost to....? ....print of a single email.

And no...dont print email anwswers. I print them because they are needed, else i wouldnt print them.

If i donate £10 to the woodland trust, how many emails will this offset?

Apparantley I read it cost 1 lb of coal for every 20Mb of data sent stored and deleted a year. intresting, saving email also costs energy!

But.....how many emails will 1 tree get me please.

well, the first answer is to recycle them, thanks for nothing, i am making a clear effort to offset my footprint, and i will offcourse recycle them once they are no longer needed.

I am offsetting due to this silly pressure, yet whilst trying to do good i get useless feedback, please, just try to understand my qyestion without trying to be big brother.

• We have too much carbon right now. The reason we have so many wildland fires is because we are unable to cut brush and lumber the forest. If we did some responsible lumbering we would lower the price of a house and create more jobs for our people. 0% 0 Votes
