According to a study conducted by ICF International and commissioned by McAfee, the average business email user generates 131 kg of CO2 every year simply by dealing with email. ICF found that 22% of these emissions are related to spam, which translates to the use of an extra 3.3 gallons of gasoline every year.[1]The report states that the average spam message generates 0.3 grams of CO2 emissions.[2] However, spam email accounts for just over one-third of the total emissions related to business and personal email globally because about 80 percent of all email messages are spam messages.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
