If you remove your post, you can reduce environmental pollution.

If you're not accessing it, not really. If anything, maybe a tiny bit on your email provider's side. There's some energy involved in making storage drives and powering them, but I feel like there's probably, literally, a million things you could do that would be more effective.

I don’t think that’s how it works but I keep a clean inbox.

Perhaps you should put more energy into getting corporations to change. The general population can only change a small percentage if everyone chips in.

Oh come on that saves virtually nothing. A far better tip would be to reduce heating. By a factor of like, a million. By posting this you actually negated the benefit people could get from removing emails
