Well as much as I didnt agree with the French Secret Service blowing up the Rainbow Warrior.
Its a bit like watching the school bully beat up the rich kid everyone hates.
You shouldn't be pleased but secretly you are

So does Greenpeace do anything besides sit and moan to everyone else that they should fix the environment and do all the work while Greenpeace sits there and does nothing proactive?
This is a serious question.

With a ship named Rainbow Warrior I think it deserved to be blown up.

Yes. They ram ships into other ships and attack people with chemical weapons.
Oh wait. I think Sea Shepard is the one that using chemical weapons... while Greenpeace is the one that breaks into places and steals stuff.

whenever an organization has a militant wing I never support them, thats also why I hate PETA, and also why I will never support the Green party politically.
Nintendo should be ashamed. They are not killling the eviroment fast enough according to redpeace

Slap.
Manking cannot exist without the enviroment...The enviroment can exist without mankind.
Nintendo are clearly environmental saints, because they don't talk about what they do to make their products.
They are so proud of their green efforts, they can't even speak about it, all choked up with tears of earth-saving joy and stuff. Or is it the fumes from the production lines? Oh well, in any case, The Wii and DS use way less power, and that's all that matters, you know.
Nintendo <3 Earth, confirmed by non-confirmation!
The real question is, is <3 a heart, or is it "the moon"?
Wow, by the way you guys unanimously responded to this piece of news, it sounds like Greenpeace just disrespected your mother.
To those who whined "unfair, they should take into account energy consumption": it _is_ one of the 15 criteria that contribute to the overall score. Nintendo scored 0 because they didn't disclose informations on how they're planning to reduce consumption in new models. Microsoft for example scored badly because they were vague about the time frames, but at least responded with a document on how they're going to reduce the 360's consumption.
Nintendo just had to do the same: tell them that they're planning to move to smaller scale chips, and give an estimate of the power consumption reductions.
To those who whined "unfair, they're giving 0 because Nintendo didn't give them the information. They should have dissected a Wii": that's the whole point of the report. They are ranking the companies' _policies_, not their products.
They ask for more transparency, the idea being that every company should make their policies about removal of toxic chemicals, recycling of e-waste and reduction of energy consumption public, so that the customers can take them into account if they want.
So to answer who asked what do they do beside moaning: they're a lobby. They work by public awareness. They chose in this case to put pressure on the IT and Electronics industry by asking enough public data to make the democracy of the wallets work.
How come I know this? I took 5 minutes to actually go and read the web page and the report PDF.
Did you? Or disrespecting Nintendo just warrants a knee-jerk reaction?
@WereKitten, so they rank Nokia and Samsung high up because maybe they are trying to improve their cellphones by making them bio degradable when I am pretty sure they have yet to even release a bio degradable version. I highly doubt Samsung and Nokia have done that much to improve their products. Most their products are probably still lead solder (lead free solder is still shitty compared to lead solder). I think the xbox360 had problems with lead free solder. I think there are millions more tons of Nokia and Samsung products in landfills compared to Nintendo. Nintendo systems are hardly thrown away because even if it breaks the person could sell it online for discounted or send it to Nintendo or another repair shop.
