Greenpeace: Nintendo still not eco-friendly

by David Hinkle { Mar 19th 2008 at 10:30AM }

Greenpeace is at it again, as their latest report sees Nintendo still scraping the bottom of the barrel and falling in last place as the most ecologically unfriendly company surveyed. But it's not all bad, as Nintendo did improve over their last survey results. They went from a 0 to a 0.3 on Greenpeace's small, yet incredibly scientific, chart there.

Actually, we're kind of sad, to be honest. No, we're not sad about Greenpeace grilling Nintendo or whatever, we're just sad we didn't get another ridiculously bad video to laugh at. Oh well, we're sure Greenpeace won't be leaving Nintendo alone anytime soon, so there's always hope!

everyone should play more eco-creatures

Oh, Greenpeace said it? Never mind.

We're all gonna get hit by a comet or killed by zombies anyway, might as well play Pokemans while we wait.

Also, this is clearly LIES. There was a Captain Planet game for the NES. I somehow doubt he would work with a company that was not dedicated to taking pollution down to zero.

Today I woke up to find my Wii light blinking. I hit the update and you know what came out? Oil and uncut six-pack rings!

Every other company on this list sells things other than video games, including cell phones, monitors, computers... things that are right now infinitely more recyclable than game consoles! And like there are landfills filled with old NES's, either. Am I missing something here?

People care about Greenpeace?

Jesse @ Mar 19th 2008 4:35PM

why are you assholes mocking an important thing? nintendo should do more to care about the fucking environment. i love DS as much as the next person but get off your pathetic fan boy dogma and shut the fuck up. god it's really pathetic your selfishness really makes us americans look dumber and dumber.

Or perhaps you could pay more attention? =P They're mocking Greenpeace, not the environment. The latter is important, but Greenpeace? Not so much.

TriptychR @ Mar 19th 2008 10:13PM

Actually, I would say it's the common American tendency to be reactionary, inflammatory and spout crude, uncapitalized language that does a better job of making us look dumber and dumber.

More of us here care about the environment than you think, but Greenpeace's methods of rating these companies isn't exactly thorough.

Ah yes, Greenpeace. Because at least ecoterrorism has "eco" in it.

I find it odd that they just don't do the extra research to figure out what Nintendo's doing, instead of just giving them zeroes where they don't make information available to the general public

I mean, they make them look like Nintendo is run by Loot'n Plunder (one of the villains from Captain Planet)
