We’re sending way too many emails—and it’s hurting the planet

My email inbox is clogged up daily with large, unnecessary images and attachments—an impact of superfast broadband and cloud storage.

When I first paid for Google One’s storage upgrade in March 2019, I never imagined I’d actually hit the limit of that new tier. The upgrade increases the available storage across your Google account from 15GB to 100GB; at the time, my Gmail accounted for just 14.5GB.
