9) On the subject of computers, did you know that
emails contribute to pollution? One message emits about 19 grams of CO
2; the emissions of sending 8 emails is equivalent to a kilometre by car.
Also, take time to eliminate spam. Each email sent is copied to various servers, to ensure better reception by the recipient, and this storage requires a lot of energy which releases CO
2. Just think of this, the McAfee company claims that global spam emits as much carbon dioxide as 3 million cars in a year.
10) For your daily commute,
switch to an e-scooter.
On average, a car emits 120.6 g of CO
2 per kilometre. Do you know how much carbon dioxide an Askoll e-scooter releases into the air? Only 7.2 g/km, when energy is regenerated from non-renewable sources. If, on the other hand, energy is produced from renewable sources, there are zero emissions. Yes, that's right: 0g/km.
April is a special month, help us make it even more special. For our own sake and that of our home.
