Spam 'uses as much power as 2.1m homes'
That's, ahem... US homes. Maybe Al Gore sized ones?
Or... 'More than 80% of the world's email traffic is now spam and the transmission and receipt of unwanted email gobbles up 33bn kilowatt-hours of electricity a year'
Seems to me that might be worth addressing over some other issues that trouble campaigners seeking a cause.

Well, they asked
Tomorrow I head off to ECOpack at the NEC to try to get more support for the RE:tie.
This was timely.
Should packs promote social causes?
So long as the enviROI is positive, it's hard to fault any design for working towards a greater good.
Certainly we at Junkk.com try and advocate reuse at every turn, and facilitate it even if not intended.
But our greatest hope is for second uses that can be built-in, especially if they can be re-evolutionary to existing designs and hence impose little or no capital or material impositions, such as the RE:tie tamper evident security closure for example.
In addition to CSR, PR and marketing opportunities in their own right, such components can surely also provide many of the functions described and discussed above!?
