Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970.
I got some interesting information from this Infographic (from WordStream). Mentioned some of them below.
- The entire world will be online around 2017*.
- In 2005 The United States had a total of 10.3 Million Data Centers. That year these data centers consumed enough energy to power the entire UK for 2 months.
- One Google search for “soylent green” produces the same amount of CO2 as driving a car 3 inches.
- A single SPAM message produces the equivalent of 0.3 grams of CO2.
Do tell us how bad (or good) the Internet is for the planet.

My mind got boggled at the 10 MILLION data centres in the USA alone (and that was 6 years ago)..! All churning out heat and then also using aircon to cool the rooms down…
Maybe it's time to 'go green' and stop watching so much rubbish on YouTube… 😉

It's really shocking to see this info-graphic. Internet too affecting our green world, never think about it.
Anu @ New Trends
Great research!! I don't have any idea about these facts. Really internet is also affecting our environment.

I didn't know Google is adding so much to the CO2 levels.. I only knew the better side… 🙂
Praveen
I wasn't aware of this Google's CO2 Production!! Looks like internet has become one of the major pollutant.

I really don't think that Internet is harmful, there are other things which really hurt our planet: industrial pollution, cars & traffic, etc. As I see it Internet has become a necessity and for many a way of life.

A single SPAM message produces the equivalent of 0.3 grams of CO2… Unbelievable and pity at the same time.
