Greenpeace Complains Game Consoles Aren't Green Enough

Posted by timothy on from the shocked-simply-shocked dept.

jasoncart writes "None of the major games consoles are 'green enough', says environmental group Greenpeace in a report released today. Zeina Al-Hajj, Greenpeace's International Toxic Campaign co-ordinator, said: "We were shocked with Nintendo; it was our biggest surprise." The company is described by the group as the least 'green' tech firm."

    every 1-2 years they put out a console that explodes from some of its parts from some brands. they need to make consoles explosion free before making them green.

    Seems theres always at least one guy who think that Greenpeace represents the entire environmental movement. They represent a movement alright.

    That's not true, I painted my Wii green so I could get in on this whole "green" trend. I found just the right paint, too. It's whale-oil based paint with some dolphin fin ground in for strength. I found this great paintbrush made with spotted owl feathers to apply the paint, and as a bonus I made a little cozy for my wiimote from giant panda fur.

    I'm going to send some pictures of my new setup to Greenpeace, I hope they'll feature them on their website.

    Speaking of the seventies, in the 1870s someone actually predicted the huge environmental problems that would be posed by the futuristic society of the 1970s - the continent, he predicted, would be hip deep in horse shit.

    Was he making an environmental commentary or political one?
