Intuitively I would think that E-mail is more environmentally friendly. Consider the amount of coal burnt to power your computer and the other five or so needed to get your message where it%26#039;s going--I bet you couldn%26#039;t even measure the amount fuel needed to produce enough power for those six computers.
On the other hand, consider the gas used in just the mail truck that picks up mail from your house. That alone is a very measurable impact, and that doesn%26#039;t even include the trucks that take mail to the airport, the planes that fly it across the country/world, etc.
Like I said, though, I%26#039;m just speculating here, so I don%26#039;t have any hard facts to back it up. But I think it makes sense. :) -
But to send that mail you use petrol in the postal van Electricity for the sorting machine
