(Off Topic) Sony & Microsoft Aren't "Green", Greenpeace Accuses
Console manufacturers "completely fail to show environmental credentials"
Greenpeace has publicly shamed Nintendo and Microsoft for lacking
any environmental credentials when it comes to electronic waste.
The latest Greener Electronics Guide sees Nintendo become the first
company to score 0/10 for its policies and practices on toxic chemicals
and takeback.
"The Greener Electronics Guide is our way of getting the electronics
industry to face up to the problem of e-waste," detailed Greenpeace.
"Nintendo completely fails to show any environmental credentials and
Microsoft and Philips do little better," said the organisation, which
for the first time is including home consoles and TVs in the report,
alongside PCs and mobile phones.
"Companies shouldn't be under any illusions that we won't check up
on their claims of green greatness," commented Iza Kruszewska,
campaigner for Greenpeace International.
