You sir, winFrankydee said:Nintendo should be awarded with solid gold employee Hummers. Then maybe Greenpeace will realise that no one really gives a shit.
Neonbob already killed the whale protectors.Zeeky_Santos said:Stupid green peace, computers of nowadays are being recycled all the time and about 95% of them can go back into computers, green enough for ya? no? fine, lets just kill all the green peacers then (except for the whale protectors)
The concern isn't disposal. While chucking your 360 into the sea isn't very environmental, that's not what we're worried about; rather, you've got to look at the hazardous waste that comes out of producing a system. Think about it like hybrid car manufacturing; the environmental cost of making a Toyota Prius is actually worse than driving a diesel car for a year or two (I forget the exact specifics).shaboinkin said:how many people actually throw away their consoles anyways?
This guy knows it.Callate said:As much as I _do_ care about the environment, the products I buy from these companies are not ones I just use once and throw away. They're products I use for years. Possibly even a decade or more, with any luck and an extended tech cycle.
I certainly agree that it should be easier than it often is to recycle dead or obsolete electronics, not just from a toxic standpoint but from a resource standpoint. But I would be lying if I said that environmental impact is usually my first priority when considering which brand to buy. Unless it's actually leaking significant amounts of carcinogens and/or mutagens into my body every moment I'm using the thing...
It would also be nice if the site made it easier to understand why a company was given a particular score over another. As it is, the chart offers hard numbers that don't seem to add up to much more than arbitrary choices on the part of the chart's makers.
Erm, isn't that, more or less, the definition of "toxic"?Macksheath said:If the toxic is deadly to people, then I will be concerned. If not, then I couldn't care less.
Greenpeace : environment :: PETA : animals. Sure, the idea is good, but the organizations tend to the extreme, which ends up doing their reputation (and, by extension, their cause) more harm than good.swaki said:edit: wow im surprised to see how many people either dont care or hate greenpeace, i agree that some of the things they do are, well, completely brain dead, but their overall mission/message is a good one.
or maybe I'm just brain washed from the media, we got spammed 24/7 with green messages in december here in C(H)openhagen
