Today's irony: Some people have an email signature that includes an image of a recycling symbol and the line "Please consider the environment before printing this email! Thank you" In a case at hand, that image added 3,297 bytes to the message, which had 118 bytes of true content.
I wonder what the worldwide daily total carbon footprint of all those little recycling images is.

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to plug in the appropriate query to Wolfram Alpha.
