Nintendo responds to Greenpeace allegations of 'playing dirty' |

Greenpeace recently released a report entitled "Playing Dirty", which criticized major video game console manufacturers for the dangerous materials used in creating their products. Nintendo took the major brunt of the criticism as the environment group noted that the video game company's environment policies were "non-existent".Speaking to TechRadar, a Nintendo spokesperson responded to the allegations outlined in the Greenpeace document and explained that the report merely graded companies upon voluntary submission of information. The spokesperson was quoted to have said this:
Nintendo decided not to take part in the survey and were therefore 'ungraded' in the resulting report. Nintendo provides detailed information regarding our compliance to EU Directives via the Consumer Section of our website and therefore we felt it unnecessary to take part in the Greenpeace survey.
Nintendo insisted that they fully complied with all the necessary EU Directives on Restriction of Hazardous Substances, which focused on environmental protection and the consumers' health and safety. Measures were also being taken to manufacture products which are safe for use by young children.
Dr. Kevin Brigden of the Greenpeace Science Unit at Exeter University has been contacted to further comment on the matter, although word has yet to arrive of his response. No worries, though. We'll be here to cover any further news once we get receive it.

This is a bunch of BS. The average person doesn't realize that ELECTRIC cars POLLUTE more then gas cars at the end of their life. The batteries they use cause more earth pollutants then gas exhaust.
If we snapped our fingers and turned every gas car into electric cars we would be in deep *****!!!
Sometimes, the right thing is the WRONG thing in the long run.

Greenpeace (and everyone like them) pi$$ me off. Who are they to tell people or companies to stop doing things that's even slightly hazardous to the environment? Don't get me wrong, it annoys me when people needlessly litter, but all these adverts etc saying "switch your lights off" or "don't use so much water when you're brushing your teeth" or "live a worse life because it's what we do now; we're going GREEN" just get on my nerves.
Kiss my hairy scrotum.
