GreenPeace, GreenPeace on the roll, who's the greenest of them all?

Green seems to be the new black, as more companies discover the importance of an environmentally friendly image to their profit margin. But it's just too easy to give lip service or start half-hearted initiatives simply for the sake of good press. GreenPeace, a non-profit environmentalist group, dug deep into the green initiatives of various tech companies to discover which brands actually walked the walk.

The top winners are Samsung and Toshiba, though both companies would have taken second place if it wasn't for the fact that Nokia lost a point due to corporate misbehavior in its taken-back and recycling scheme, as well as the fact that its Russian and Indian staff were not informed of such a scheme at all. Though Sony sits in the fourth place, it's VAIO TZ laptop series has been declared the greenest laptop of them all, as it is totally free from beryllium.

If you feel strongly that all companies should adopt a strong environmentally friendly stand, vote with your wallet and walk away from the worst offenders (Philips and Nintendo) in the tech business.
