The week’s just beginning and your inbox is already full. It’s time to deal with it! Why? Because there are more and more emails each day; because every email that is sent or received generates, on average, 20 grams of CO2; because it would make our schedules lighter and our lives easier, and because we have the power to decide what comes into our inboxes and what stays there. It’s as simple as this: read and save important messages and, if it is absolutely necessary that you respond, plan out how you are going to do so. Save messages that are interesting and add something to your life. Now, for those that are trivial, boring, or even annoying, don’t delete them right away. Open the message, scroll all the way to the end of it, and click “cancel”/”unsubscribe”/”remove from list,” even if you never subscribed, as is the case with some marketing products that are sent out without ever asking for permission. No way to cancel? File a complaint here. A “cleaning” will reduce the size of your inbox, lighten your daily routine and, better yet, help to save the planet. Experts say that emails don’t affect the environment as much as online games and videos, but that’s a topic for another day, so stay tuned for next week. Let’s take one step forward at a time, without leaving a carbon footprint.
Coming this week…
Gleycon da Silva, an environmental manager and friend of the bees, who is launching a beekeeping project in collaboration with small-scale agricultural producers. He will be our leader for a sustainable future.
It’s very cold in the Southern Hemisphere and very hot in the Northern Hemisphere. What’s happening with the climate and what should we expect?
