Synopsis
Every day, 64 million unnecessary emails are sent in Great Britain alone. Imagine this: if each person sent just one less email daily, it would save 16,000 tons of carbon emissions per year.
To put that into perspective, this is the equivalent of 80,000 people flying from London to Madrid. This seemingly small habit has far-reaching implications, affecting both our environment and personal productivity.
In this session, we’ll explore the intersection of productivity, email habits, and environmental responsibility.
We’ll discuss how artificial intelligence—specifically tools like Microsoft Copilot—can transform the way we handle emails, allowing individuals and organizations to streamline communication, save time, and reduce their carbon footprint.
Through these innovations, we can foster refined email practices that boost efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
Session Timeline:
A Brief History of Email We’ll start with an overview of email’s evolution, from its humble beginnings to its current place as a cornerstone of digital communication.
Individual and Corporate Email Habits & Their Impact on the Ecosystem
Next, we’ll examine how our daily email routines
- both personal and professional
- leave a measurable mark on our environment, exploring how digital communication, while essential, can often lead to unintended ecological consequences.
Enhancing Efficiency & Reducing the Digital Clutter Moving forward, we’ll discuss refined methods to boost productivity and minimize unnecessary email “clutter.”
With these streamlined practices, we aim to improve communication quality, fostering clearer and more intentional exchanges.
The Role of AI in Email Infrastructure and Usage Finally, we’ll delve into how AI is reshaping the world of email management and infrastructure.
From intelligent sorting and prioritization to automated responses, AI enables us to communicate smarter and more sustainably, revolutionizing traditional email practices.
About the speaker
With a decade of experience in the IT sector, I specialize as a systems infrastructure architect in both cloud and traditional environments.
From 2021 to 2023, I served as a Microsoft 365 Consultant at Microsoft, where I supported enterprise clients in maximizing their cloud-based workflows.
For the past five years, I have maintained a blog (tayfuntech.com), where I share insights and tutorials on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
My commitment to education extends beyond my professional duties. I have been offering voluntary online and in-person training on Microsoft cloud technologies, helping others develop their expertise in cloud computing.
As a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) for four years, I am dedicated to shaping the next generation of cloud professionals.
Last year, I authored the e-book Did you get my email? a detailed exploration of the history and current usage habits surrounding email. This book addresses the impact of email practices on productivity and the ecosystem and offers actionable strategies for individuals and organizations to improve productivity while reducing environmental impact.
