According to environmental saviours (or tree-hugging, middle-class hippies) Greenpeace, Nintendo is doing nothing to help fight climate change (or global warming, depending on your Gore-rating).

We know this because the Mario maker has scored a miserable zero out of ten in a recent Greenpeace survey.

In terms of the main platform holders, in terms of planet protection the Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics puts Sony on top and Nintendo right at the bottom, with Microsoft trailing not too far behind with its tail between its legs.

Sony scores of 7.3 out of 10, a respectable score due to its efforts in recycling, 'takeback' and having massively decreased the number of products containing any form of toxic PVC over the last year. Well done Sony, you might be trailing in the console race, but at least you’re helping to conserve the planet!

Microsoft scored a miserable 2.7 out of 10, mainly due to its poor timeline for eliminating toxic chemicals, its poor recycling policy and practice. Rubbish, Microsoft. Literally, rubbish! SPOnG expects a better score next year please.

Finally, we come on to the Japanese planet killers, Nintendo. 0 out of 10. The first ever global brand to score nothing across all criteria, according to Greenpeace with "infinite room for future improvement."

For Nintendo to score zero in all nine categories - chemicals management, timeline for the precautionary principle (a chemicals policy), PVC phaseout, timeline for the phase out of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), PVC-free and/or BFR-free models, individual producer responsibility, voluntary takeback, information to individual customers, and amounts recycled – is nothing less than an abomination. The company should hang its head in shame.

If the Wii wasn’t so much fun, we’d probably urge you to boycott their products.
