DISQUS

The reason those companies declined was more than likely because they didn't want to be drawn into a public spat with GreenPeace. Greenpeace is the kind of organisation that, if you were found to be less than eco-friendly, would tear you apart in the press and do your company a great deal of harm. Refusing to comment is probably just damage control.

Laws are getting tighter and tighter, though and sooner or later all technology companies are going to be forced to make an active effort to go easy on the environment. This will, of course pass the cost increase down to the customer.

Eco-friendly solutions are already about though. A guy I know offers "Green" hosting when he sells a website. What that means is he sells hosting on server farms that are sustained by wind power only.

This was a refreshing post and I appreciate the effort by greenpeace.

If we cannot do away with these gadgets we can always choose the lesser evil and make sure that we are making a difference somehow. I think that posts like these should be encouraged more and that people should give it all the support.

This is something that green peace should be appreciated. I think this will make think more when they buy something and too much thinking at times can be good.

We should support the companies that are for the "green green" movement!

Wow, laptops from Sony are really stylish and to know that they are also environment friendly makes their product way cooler than the rest for me.

Sony Ericsson again is a great phone,made even better after this news.

Good move from Greenpeace, I was beginning to think that all they do is picket and protest.
