71% of Britons say they wouldn’t mind not receiving ‘thank you’ emails to help our environment. We can significantly cut carbon footprint by not sending unnecessary emails.
Britons send more than 64 million unnecessary emails per day with un-actionable pleasantries such as ‘thank you’, ‘thanks’ topping the list of most common offenders. Is it rude to not send such notes? Absolutely not, if the reason is clearly understood.
49% frequently send emails to people within talking distance. Despite our penchant for politeness, can we very politely pause to think before we thank!
