Greenpeace Releases Its Latest ‘Guide to Greener Electronics’

By Thursday October 1, 2009

Notice that Nintendo is at the bottom, being the least green company. Think about this the next time you are playing with your Wii.

    Jerk than knee much? No-one’s telling you what to buy. It’s advice, nothing more. If buying ‘eco-friendly’ floats your boat, pay attention. If not, don’t. What fascistic about that?

    A lot of people (mostly non-American people from what I can tell) actually give a crap about pollution (pun not intended) and the environment and try to live accordingly. Personally I don’t really go for the Greenpeace dogma, but I do consider the environment when I buy and dispose of stuff.

    Reducing pollution and increasing energy efficiency are desirable outcomes.Why the redneck ‘dont tell me to stop polluting’ attitude?

    um..Gasparrini…i hope you do realize that the entire “Green” movement is a farcical PTB inside joke.. the “Green” refers to $$$MONEY$$$ not anything related to energy.

    It is a nice little [pointless] flash-app though.

    —-

    When we see the personal, over-unity power units whose design has been around for the better part of century, THEN you’ll have something truly green.

    That would be right around when Western Science uses Einstein as their excuse for holding back their progress in energy and space for 80+years, denying that the Aether exists and not “discovering” that gravity proper is nothing more than a helical, polarized electromagnetic wave produced by the spin of electrons in the atom.

    [The Russians will probably out that shortly]

    Like i been saying, in the very near future, resonant electromagnetics [and perhaps tuned toroidal coils] will be the *only* thing that matters.

    It is the one and only unifying force that ties the entire universe together and powers all Life within it.
    -and soon, it will power everything on this planet. [as soon as someone kills off all the oil families, that is] muhahaa

    -s[enior] froot loopy

    (save those old hard drives. there are rare earth neodymium magnets in them that will become mighty handy in the near future–count on it)

    Pedro, I’m not being sarcastic. If people think it’s a good idea to ban SUVs because some people drive them with just one person in the car and they burn too much fuel, then it is reasonable to ban other wasteful products. If people want to see brightness, let them go outside and look at the sun. Limit laptops and desktops to 14 inch screens. Ban wireless routers and cell phones.

    Greenpeace has zero credibility. It is a club for spoiled brats.

    #23 And I though you weren’t being braindead. Give my regards to Grizzly Adams when you see him. Oh, and stop using the interwebbytubbies, they contribute to global warming.

    My apologies to #19, you were right. I should have noted it once Huge Ripoff was onboard.

    I am not a huge Greenpeace booster, but I really love the way all the morans like to shoot the messenger.

    That’s it. I am supporting Nintendo after this. GreenPeace are a bunch of idiots.

    #26 What messenger, the one that says someone’s not “green” because they aren’t giving data? Keep that bus driving job.

    I agree, this is mainly a way to extort money.

    Yes the issue of pollution is real and needs to be dealt with but all to often the math connected to the green business modals does not compute.

    Well the green business makes a lot of money but the benefit to others/the environment is often rather limited.

    #28, pedro,

    You truly are a failure. In today’s business world is the written mantra that every successful company write down their priorities and business plan. That some companies refuse to do so in regards to being “green” demonstrates that they have no plan to stop being wasteful. Especially with nonrenewable resources.

    Oh, I forgot. You are some successful businessman who knows all this stuff.

    Going green saves you green, nothing wrong with that.
