So ineffectively, that they have created and fed into a negative social stigma regarding environmentalists and their causes that I personally believe has consistently held back the "green movement" from wider acceptance. Because of this, I voted "no" in the poll because while I support the ultimate "efforts" of Greenpeace, I do not support Greenpeace itself. Just wanted to clarify a position I believe many of the "no" voters hold but could easily be misinterpreted depending how you read the question. And let's not get started about PETA... Good god...

The power "production" also hurts the environment, but it just shows how small and ignorant these people are.

Consumer only want to know what they are told they need to worry about, so until GP and the like have succeeded in getting consumers to demand this information, it will not be posted.

If they want to prove how environmentally friendly they are, now is the time to do so. I think information like this should be publicly available for all consumers. Just like how we have a list of ingredients on food stuffs. There should be databases where companies must submit this sort of info. The ball’s in Nintendo’s court now.

"Wiiiiiiii!!" Looking at the original Greenpeace pdf results, they say that "The Guide ranks companies according to their policies and practices on toxic chemicals and takeback." but nowhere do they tell us how they determined that. It looks like, as Montsan said, they just trawled the web a bit. Heark, I hear the dreaded warcry of Nintendo….

I'm pretty sure this is true and if it is, I think the post should make mention of this. Not only would that show the results to have been intentionally misleading, but it'd show what a poor excuse for a "study" this really was.
