I think we all need to stop laughing at this and realize its an actual problem. Even if the majority of the complaints stem from Nintendo's decision not to cooperate, that alone is a fault.

Rather than laugh at the issue, we should applaud Sony both for doing more than the average company on the environmental front, and encourage Nintendo to do more, even if that simply means "provide information to environmental protection agencies."

This isn't saying Nintendo is evil, it's just asking for improvement in an arena where they apparently aren't keeping up.


Greenpeace is hardly a major environmental protection organization. They are a radical and independant activist group which is in no way associated with any official worldwide environmental protection agency nor do they opperate under any UN approved restrictions. Nintendo had ever right to refuse to give them information. Criticizing a company for not helping Greenpeace is like criticizing democrats for not being part of moveon.org.

If they wanted people to take them seriously they would have done their own research into the production of Nintendo's products and tested them for any and all possibly harmful chemicals. They also would have taken into account energy consumption and company environmental policies (http://www.nintendo.com/corp/faq.jsp#environment). The list is a joke, and people absolutely should be making fun of it.


"Radical" group is right. Greenpeace are not much better than ecoterrorists. See here:

"Greenpeace, Inc., and other nonexempt Greenpeace entities benefiting from these transfers have committed numerous acts of eco-terrorism."
