"Nintendo has been sending out a pretty lame response to e-mails on the subject, which tells you mainly about office recycling," wrote the environmental group in ablog postingon its Web site.

The next edition of the ranking is due out in June this year. The new ranking will be based on tighter criteria and be expanded to include measurements on energy consumption -- not just of the products but also their production -- and whether the company has eliminated the use of PVC and bromine flame retardants in products.
"It's not enough to tackle energy consumption of the products alone but also the production process and the amount of greenhouse gas emitted," said Al Hajj.
Earlier this month at the Cebit electronics show in Germany the environmental group called for consumer electronics companies to provide more information on the amount of energy used in the production and distribution stages of a product's life.
