Eco-Spam?

No, not the food. Although maybe we should work on coming up with a delicious canned pork product for the environment. Or at least work on making Spam cans environmentally friendly? Just an idea.

What we’re talking about is e-mail spam. So, wait, how is it possible for e-mail spam to be environmentally friendly? As a New York Times blog entry reports, the authors were sent an e-mail, misspellings and all, asking to donate money to a “Renewable Energy Technology System.” However, the e-mail is so poorly written and misguided that there is probably no such thing. Maybe there is and the writer is just a terrible speller, although that seems even more unlikely than the “Renewable Energy Technology System.”

Hey, at least the spammers are becoming more environmentally aware, right? It’s a start!
