Efficient email management can save Environment | TechSpace 101

 When you open your mail, do you also have 564 unread mails, 600 spams and 25 messages in drafts? If your mailbox also looks like this, unwillingly you are contributing to air pollution.

Welcome back to Shekhar Arena!

Today we will talk about how using your mails effectively can help protect the environment. Have you ever wondered where are our mails stored? They are stored on multiple servers in different parts of the world. To run these servers, a lot of electricity is required and most of this electricity is generated through fossil fuels. Also this can lead to extreme air pollution.


According to reports, one spam mail can produce upto 0.3 gm Carbon dioxide. Emails with attachment can generate upto 50 gms Carbon dioxide.
Around 60 bn spam mails are sent everyday that generates roughly 18 lac kg of carbon dioxide. That's the calcualtion for a single day!

After all this knowledge, what can we do? There are multiple steps we can take to reduce carbon foot prints.

A. Delete useless mails. Server's data will then be deleted and thus less CO2 is generated.

B. Delete all your spams daily.


C. Unsubscribe to unwanted mails- Lot of times we subscribe to newsletters while online shopping or surfing. Better unsubscribe these mails. It will take some time but will reduce your mail count significantly.

D. Turn off social media notifications- We no longer require basic mail notifications for our social media activity. These are now available in social media apps as well. Manage your preferences and just activate security related mails.

E. Clean your mailbox whenever possible. You might be spending a lot of time scrolling through instagram and binge watching YouTube. Spend some 5-10 minutes on your inbox, read the mails and delete the unnecessary.



These are some of the steps you can take towards an eco-friendly life. We can't eliminate but for sure reduce the carbon footprint.

Let us know in comments what steps do you already follow to manage your mailbox. Also let us know if you have any suggestions.

Stay connected. You can now follow our blogs for more insightful content coming up!

Adheen-The Dependent | Not a Movie Review

"Ice, that is brittle can be shattered, while water flows and adapts" . This means 'टूटता कठोर है ,कोमल नहीं'. Have you ever thought why most of our parents want us to guide throughout our childhood and teenage till the time we stand on our feet? Think about this and let  me know in comments. Vacations and Parents I think dependency is a relative term, you may be dependent on someone in one context, independent in other. To all the people living away from their homes, please respond on these two questions? 1. When was the last time you visited your home? Here, home means the place where your parents live. 2. If you visited in last 6 months, did you sit still with them and talked about how life is going, what problems are they facing, are there any health issues or anything else without peeping in your phone? You think they are fine, but wait they are not. Adheen, a short film directed by Yash Verma talks about these intricacies. Rajendra(Sanjay Mishra) fre...

Solitude and Loneliness

Don't you think the root cause of most of our problems is the underlying loneliness that most of us experience in our daily lives today. Let's analyse what is the reason behind and derive some practical solution to this. Basically there are two situations i.e, loneliness and Solitude. In loneliness, you are alone and worried about having no one by your side while solitude is experiencing a whole new world when you are alone. You experience happiness when you are alone. You don't need a second person to be happy. The root cause of our emptiness is that our foundation for living is based on lies. We are stuck in the loop of lie spread by ourselves only and continue exhibiting dual personality. Actually we try to complete our emptiness through other things, actions and relationships (people)- don't we? As a consequence, we become more dependable on those things, actions or people. This dependency could be at physical, psychological, financial or even at mental level....

Bihar and the Education System | Bihar mein bahar h

He was completely demoralized, analysing where did he go wrong. Was his preparation not apt enough to crack the interview? Didn't he had the technical knowledge, the profile required- all this was whirling in his head, while he sat in disguise with a cup of tea. Welcome back to Shekhar Arena!  Hope you are doing fine. Today, I will tell you a story- a story of our friends, students and the teachers! There is this friend of mine who was attending an Off-Campus placement drive of a reputed MNC. He did his graduation in computer applications from a renowned institute of Bihar. 6 out of 49 students cleared the aptitude test. There he met another guy about whom he said later that guy was technically sound than him. This guy did his graduation from same renowned institute, located in another city of our state. The technical round was a WhatsApp video interview and the interviewer asked scenario based questions. He was dumbstruck, didn't understand the questions well-answers of...
