Greenpeace slams Nintendo and Microsoft

Greenpeace gave Nintendo and Microsoft abysmal ratings on their efforts to get rid of toxic chemicals in their game consoles. Nintendo recieved it lowest rating ever (0 out of 100) because it has no palns to reduce hazardous materials and they failed to inform consumers about hazardous materials used in their products. Microsoft got hit for not having an adequate take back program for hazardous materials. it doesnt seem like companies take these ratings too seriously which i think is a shame since their products are contributing to the destruction of our planet.
