>Where in the world is it 50g CO2 to send an email (or 62Wh if we convert it back)? What in the world makes you think that a paper ticket, which is literally several grams of carbon and oxygen, has less of an impact?
I agree with you that the provided example is stupid, but I think there is an argument to be made that going digital can lead to more waste.

I don't want to be the guy signing off on the electric bill, nor consider the geopolitiecological side of where the screens came from.
