Are games destroying the planet?

Greenpeace has released its latest Guide to Greener Electronics, a ranking of "the 18 top manufacturers of personal computers, mobile phones, TV’s and games consoles according to their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling," and the news isn’t good for Nintendo, which scored just 0.3 out of a possible 10 points and placed a distant last on the list.

While the score represents an improvement from the goose egg awarded the Japanese video game giant in December’s guide (apparently the company has since commited to using green suppliers), Greenpeace claims that Nintendo still has no policies on use of PVCs or BPRs in its products, and provides little assistance to customers looking to recycle their gadgets.
