Greenpeace bash Nintendo on environment policies

Greenpeace have recently attacked Nintendo for not making it's polices public. This is not a one time event either, Greenpeace have continually been on Nintendo's case for not doing their part for the environment. Sony and Microsoft however have according to the Non-Profit Organisation made improvements since there last review, though of course they like any other company could do more.
Greenpeace has again slammed Nintendo for not making public its policies on environmental waste.
The latest Greener Guide to Electronics shows a marginal increase for the Japanese manufacturer, following last year's report when Nintendo scored the lowest mark possible in the review.
"Nintendo remains the odd one out of the 18 companies in the Guide, without any public time lines to eliminate the worst toxic chemicals or a global recycling policy for the millions of products it sells every year," said the report.
"If Nintendo has better policies why not make them public like the other 17 companies in the Guide?"

    I am disappointed in Nintendo on this, I hope they improve themselves on this one. Come on Nintendo, you know you can make this right.

    Hmmm. That's somewhat disappointing. Let's hope Nintendo gets a bit greener.

    Not developers, they're addressing companies. GI did an article on this months ago where Greenpeace rated companies like Panasonic, Motorola, Microsoft, Sony, Sharp, etc.

    Apparently Nintendo did next to nothing to meet Greenpeace's requirements to clean up their chemicals or set any policies to do anything about it.

      lol no

      It goes with the production of the actual games, I think. Can you imagine all that petro and hazardous material in general they use to make the games? Rephrased: the games are made of all that petro, literally.
