Greenpeace just released version 11 of their Guide to Greener Electronics. The guide began in 2006 with the goal of cleaning up the electronics sector and getting manufacturers to take responsibility for the full life cycle of their products, including the electronic waste that their products generate.

Check out the latest issue of the Green Guide and see how your favorite electronics companies stacked up

What is a shame, is that Greenpeace scored these other companies above Apple, at a time when Apple refused to give a phony baloney projection, as these other companies did. Moral of the story --- words are cheap. You Greenpeace, should not be duped again by scoring based upon a promise as you did previously. Report what they say, and leave the scoring out at that point. Wait tell they do whatever it is they are going to do --- then make your assessment, and score the companies at that time. You are the one that has come out looking bad, with your latest report, as you bought the hype in your previous report, and didn't have enough sense to know better. Sad. And I thought you guys were supposed to be oh so smart. NOT. Is this Greenpeace with egg on their face ? ---- Yeah, BIG TIME !!!!!

NetworkWorld has a great write-up about your new green electronics rankings. I'm glad to see the problem of electronic waste (eWaste) getting more and more publicity lately. eWaste is going to become a much larger problem all over the world and something needs to be done about it, and I don't mean shipping it off to other countries so we can pollute their lands. One thing that my community does that I like is they have an electronics recycling program. There are drop-off spots where we can take our junk eWaste instead of throwing it in the garbage can or taking it to the landfill. Just this one little process in all the cities and towns of the world would do so very much to help this terrible practice of putting eWaste into the ground. One other thing I want to mention is that corporate eWaste recycling should be the rule, the law and be made mandatory. More electronics recyclers are needed but it is important for consumers to demand that recyclers clearly explain the process by which they recycle in order to minimize impacts to the environment or to the community. Thank you for what you do, Greenpeace! Regards, Tyson
