EDIT: Went and read their report, they have NO INFORMATION, so they give them a zero. That's retarded.

Sony, meanwhile, scored 7.3 out of 10, winning praise for its chemical management and e-waste efforts after it reportedly recovered 36,000 tons of unwanted products from its customers.
So, Sony gets kudos for making crappy products which customers send back to them and this is considered recycling or something?
At least Nintendo makes quality products which don't break down and have to be recovered from customers. And also, they deserve credit for creating a game where Mario cleans up oil spills, as well as a game where Luigi cleans up haunted mansions with a vacuum. This helps promote environmentalism. Are there any Sony games which do this?

No info = No score
If they had bothered to do some actual fact checking and contact each company, this report might actually mean something.

Greenpeace is funny because every second album I own has the band thanking them in the liner notes and yet every time I see them depicted on TV they're portrayed as complete nutters and I've never met a person in real life who said anything good about them.

Seriously though, that's a pretty god awful article. Like BnM said, do some damn investigatory research.

Isn't every other musician a complete nutter, too, though?

What does Nintendo do to help protect the environment?
Nintendo is very concerned with doing our part to help preserve the environment. We're always researching new products and procedures to make our products and operations as environmental-friendly as possible.
Some things Nintendo is already doing:
In our offices:
* We recycle the paper we use company-wide.
* We limit our use of colored paper, since it's not easily recycled.
* We purchase recycled paper towels, report covers, message pads, and writing pads.
* We currently recycle more than 70% of the waste that is generated at our headquarters.
* We actively promote the recycling of aluminum cans and glass in our corporate cafeterias.
In our products:
* We use at least 80% recycled paper in all of our shipping packaging.
* We no longer use Styrofoam in our game pak or Game Boy packaging.
* All of our instruction manuals are printed on recycled paper.
* We no longer use plastic Game Pak covers.
* Our clamshell packaging is recyclable and most recycling centers accept it.
* We require that manufacturers not use any banned substances (such as lead, mercury, etc.) in components, nor use them in the manufacturing process for any components used inside of our products. This requirement also extends to suppliers of packaging, marketing materials, and other items used in the marketing and distribution of our products.

Is Nintento evil ,probably not; but they can and should make efforts to be greener. But dont worry to much about this all.

Oh yeah, lovely. Who doesn't want a portable system's games to lie around without any cover. Well, at least with the DS you can now have a cover that's 10x the size of the cart...
