TicTag is a simple text to add to emails to indicate their lifespan and make deletion easier.
A free, very simple idea to clean up our inboxes.
360 billion emails are sent every day. Most become useless within hours but remain stored forever on servers consuming energy permanently.
Fear of deleting an important email, lack of time, no clear reference to know what to keep. We either keep everything or delete everything.
Dead data accumulating, more and more servers, energy and materials consumed continuously. An invisible but very real carbon footprint.
If the sender indicated the lifespan of their email via an easily detectable tag, everyone could massively delete single-use emails. That is exactly what TicTag offers.
TicTag is a simple text to paste into your emails (the tags) to indicate their lifespan. Nothing to install, nothing to configure. It works in every inbox in the world.
It's as simple as writing "Please consider the environment before printing this email."
Write your email normally, as usual.
1 year, 3 years or 5 years depending on the type of email.
Copy-paste the TicTag tag at the bottom of your email. That's it!
