If every adult in the UK sent one less “thank you” email, it could save 16,433 tonnes of carbon a year, according to the energy company, OVO. This would be the equivalent of taking 3,334 diesel cars off the road, or taking 81,152 flights to Madrid

@Snoro@mastodon.social - I don't think these numbers are even close to being correct. The figure of 4g per email from the article itself gives you a value that's 100 times lower. Relative to typical household emissions that's a reduction of (I think) about 0.00004%.
