useful

I wish Greenpeace would concentrate more on writing balanced and actually useful reports like this, than fomenting hysteria over nuclear power and reprocessing (which are actually useful to decrease CO2).

Get a job

Go out and get a job, you bunch of penniless hippies, then you can afford all the polluting consoles you want.

hmm

Greenpeace is extreme, I would agree with that.

However, they are informing people about toxins and poisons. In this report Greenpeace is not telling people to live off seeds...etc. In this case they are trying to help you avoid developing cancer. 

Where do you think chemicals in landfills go? They don't disappear, they go in your American drinking water.

Inbred morons

If you want to know what ewaste looks like, just do a Google image search for it. It’s not pretty, and the chemicals that leech off ewaste is getting into the drinking supplies of millions of people, poisoning them and causing birth defects. 

The manufacturers don’t care about the pollution, so I’m pleased that Greenpeace does.

Another annoying thing.

One thing Greenpeace didnt seem to comment on was the fact that the Wii sucks a mindboggling, extreme, flabbergasting 17-22W when running its most games.
Yes it is slightly upgraded cube hardware, but Nintendo should be applauded when compared to the 360 and the PS3

It is unjust to suggest - 'environ-mental' that Greenpeace is mentally unstable. Greenpeace is not unstable, nor is it especially given to what has become known as 'direct action'. Greenpeace has done a lot of good in the world.

Time to inspect the Inspectors

Isn't it about time someone did a report on Greenpeace itself. How much energy to they use to promote themselves or to investigate others. How much fuel, electricity, water, or waste is produced when creating these reports?

Didn't think of that one.

"Greenpeace also urged companies to think more profoundly about e-waste issues and what effects an ecologically unfriendly console would have on the environment if unceremoniously dumped in the junkyard of some poor developing country."

Ahh yes, never thought of that. If the ethiopeans throw out their PS3's when they buy the next gen consoles imagine what effect it will have on their house. Oh I mean the dump. Wait....

A huh

Greenpeace can kiss my hairy arse. So can Tha idiot Al Gore and his religon of manmade global warming too. It's not true, one volcano throws more crap into the air than all of man does for years. The southern polar cap has been expanding for over a decade too but they don't tell you that.

Is Anything Really Green

Has anything really been green since the invention of fire?

Greenpeace can go suck a donkeys dick

they annoy me

eco terrorists, thinking we can save the world by eating seeds and attacking whalers.

I'd rather eat a whale than a seed and live my life as pollutingly as possible, because it's more fun

A likely story

"Phthalates in the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation3 were also singled out for avoidance if possible, with one particular type, DEHP, known to interfere with sexual development in humans, especially males."

Oh sure, blame it on the Phthalates. It has nothing to do with sitting in front of the console for hours and weekends on end playing video games.

Greenpeace says game consoles just aren't green

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
