“Microsoft and Nintendo are taking too long to phase out toxic chemicals from their game consoles, and TV producers Philips and Sharp have poor policies on taking back and recycling outdated products, Greenpeace said Tuesday in its latest environmental ranking of leading electronics companies. Adding the four companies to its quarterly environmental rankings, Greenpeace listed all the newcomers at the bottom of the list of 18, with Nintendo becoming the first company to score zero out of a possible 10 points. The most nature-friendly companies under the criteria were Sony Ericsson and Samsung, each scoring 7.7 points.” (11/27/07)
