This Earth Day, the theme “Our Power, Our Planet” reminds us that real change starts with the choices we make every day. Email is no exception: the average email generates about 4g of CO₂, and those with attachments can emit up to 50g—adding up to 410 million tons of CO2 from emails every year. Data center energy demands grew 12% over the last 5 years, with AI being a major driver, and most of these facilities still rely on fossil fuels to power our digital lives.
At Runbox, we believe in the power of individual and collective action. That’s why we’ve built an email service that runs on 100% renewable energy and double offsets for any remaining emissions, making your inbox not just private, but truly carbon-negative. While big tech grapples with rising emissions and vague sustainability claims, we’re transparent about our impact and committed to real change.
This Earth Day, take control of your digital footprint. By choosing Runbox, you’re not just sending emails—you’re supporting a movement for a cleaner, more ethical digital future. Together, we can turn “Our Power, Our Planet” into action, one email at a time.
