- Greenpeace, the environmental group that compiles a list of the greenest gadget makers (among other things), has decided to attack Hewlett Packard for what it calls HP’s lack of commitment to green gadgets. This morning, the group painted the message “Hazardous Products” on HP’s Palo Alto, Calif. headquarter’s rooftop. In addition too the grafiti Greenpeace also says it sent an automated phone call from William Shatner to HP employees asking them to “phase out toxic chemicals.”
- Greenpeace says that HP “continues to put hazardous products on the market despite promises made years ago to phase out these toxic compounds”. More specifically Greenpeace says that HP has pushed back a commitment to eliminate brominated flame retardants and polyvinyl chloride plastics from its computers to as late as 2011. HP is ranked 13th out of 18 manufacturers because of its delayed commitment. At the top of the list; Apple. [Katie, Earth2Tech].
