Spam is not a recent phenomenon. It has existed since the advent of the Internet, and will continue. A recent study by McAfee was fairly sums up the seriousness of problems posed by spam. Did you know that, because of spam alone, 33 million kilowatt hours of electricity was lost in 2008? And this is only for United States. Imagine what the total would be with the world combined. Another statistic that showed a power 3 billion dollars are lost by spam. Why is this the case? At the individual level, emitting a spam about 0.3 grams of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emissions. If you multiply the number of spam sent around the Net e-mail estimates that 62 billion emails, which becomes the final value of approximately 17 million metric tons dioxide carbon.

So what is spam? Spam is a term for any email or unsolicited junk you receive in your mail service. There are many variations in the spam mails. The most common are trying to "sell" products such as Viagra, request your personal information and credit that the state has won a lottery or award. Did you know that when McCole, a U.S. based host who was responsible for much of the spam in the world was closed in 2008, the result has been an annual saving of carbon dioxide equal to have 2.2 million vehicles off the roads? This shows that we can reduce the amount of spam so effective in taking action against ISPs (Internet Service Providers) alone. Unfortunately, many of These victories are short-lived because spammers are like weeds, they will migrate to another ISP and develop its capacity Shipping Spam again. But if everyone took action? And if everyone was able to identify the source of a spammer and a demonstration cons ISP email accounts to close down? In fact, it is an impossible task every effort to encourage all users 6 billion Internet users to take immediate action, but it remains a resource value as an individual.
