What better way to get to the consoles manufacturing companies than to make video ads of their precious consoles being disassembled and re-forming to create a "spokesperson" against toxic waste in consoles? Environmental NGO Greenpeace has just upped the pressure on Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo to drop the use of toxic substances on their products, and we can all watch it as it happens.

Greenpeace has released the latest version of its Guide to Greener Electronics, the environmental report card for electronics companies. According to their latest grades, Sony's cleaning up its act, but Microsoft is becoming a dirty boy. Nintendo's still being uncooperative and is dragging in at last place.

Details after the link.

A new report from the environmental group Greenpeace reveals that Sony is the "greenest" of all three console manufacturers. Nintendo comes in at last place. But Nintendo claims that their products don't create waste at all because "people hang unto them." I'm not kidding.

Greenpeace has released their "Guide to Greener Electronics" which scores the 18 top manufacturers of gadgets and devices according to their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling.

Apple, which was under Greenpeace's black books for the iPhone, got a better score this time around. Among the three console manufacturers, Sony scored the best. Microsoft was third to the last and Nintendo was in last place (because both are new entries to the guide).
