Titbit: CO2 Produced by the Internet

According to an InfoGraphic over at Mashable, using the Internet produces a lot of greenhouse gases. The InfoGraphic indicates that Google alone produce 260,000 kg of CO2 per month.

Consider adding to this the CO2 produced by Amazon, eBay, Flickr, Apple, Microsoft, and the thousands of other Internet datacentres around the world.

Then there is the CO2 created by the transmission and processing of the 62 trillion SPAM e‑mails estimated to have been sent in 2010.

This is just the unsolicited unwanted SPAM e-mails. Imagine how many non-SPAM e-mails were processed.
