Maybe we will see a huge jump in GreenPeace's next version. But my main concern right now is that I haven't heard ANYTHING, 0, ZIP, about how bad Nintendo is doing in this area. And they are nowhere near a small company. @thalla – Well I’m glad to hear that information. Maybe we will see a huge jump in GreenPeace’s next version.

I just did a project on Nintendo for my GBUS class at Hofstra in the spring, and they are supposed to be very environmentally conscious. According to their corporate website, their offices recycle as many paper products as possible, 70% of waste, and 99% of returned products. Their packaging uses 80% recycled paper and recyclable plastic, and not Styrofoam. They also try to avoid hazardous materials such as latex, lead, mercury, (and a bunch of other chemicals I can't identify), and they are phasing out the use of PVC. Old Nintendo products are usually put back into circulation or recyclable, but they offer a take-back program and provide suggestions for disposal of batteries. Don't lose faith in them yet, I think they are trying. You know, I find it very surprising that Nintendo is ranked so low.
