Since Nintendo's big goose-egg ranking in environmental friendliness from the activists at Greenpeace last November, we've been on pins and needles waiting to see if the Big N could improve its standing. Well, we're happy to announce that Nintendo has indeed done better this time around, improving to a massive 0.3/10 in Greenpeace's latest rankings.
The number -- which is a full four points below closest competitors Philips -- doesn't tell the whole story, though. Greenpeace itself notes that, since their last ranking, Nintendo has introduced a plan to reduce PVCs in its packaging and posted links to EPA and eCycling programs on its web site. Yet these "tiny improvements," as Greenpeace puts it, didn't even rank the company a single point increase in the corresponding Greenpeace rating categories. Is it us, or is there a scoring bug in the game Greenpeace is playing here?

The world opinion on america is bullshit.
General consensious is they think Americans are stupid and ignorant but they arn't their just pure evil.
The most evil nation in the world, and that goes for most of the population too.
America is worse than Nazi Germany, and one day they will get their just deserts.

Wow! That is too categorical. You are angry, I understand. But "Americans" are not the cause of your anger. Its something else. Make sure you know.

Just because Nintendo doesn't put their environmental policies on their website doesn't mean they don't have any. When a GoNintendo reader emailed Nintendo their reply had a lot of information on their policies.
