According to a report being released on Wednesday by security company McAfee Inc. 62 trillion junk e-mails in 2008 wasted enough electricity to power 2.4 million U.S. homes for a year, reports the Associated Press. Thus the estimate of "Carbon Footprint of E-mail Spam Report" shows that that the electricity needed to process a single spam message results in 0.3 grams of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere - the equivalent of driving 3 feet in a car.
