Emailing "Sony TZ Wins over Greenpeace"
Greenpeace and electronics makers have had a strained relationship, to say the least (click
here,
here and
here for examples). But Sony has reason to be somewhat happy. Their ultraportable TZ line earned kudos from the environmental group.
Wired Gadget Lab reports:
Sony's TZ series of 11.1" subnotebooks are singled out for praise in Greenpeace's latest guide to greener electronics, but the company itself was edged out by Samsung, Toshiba and Nokia in the overall runnings.
The TZ, newly garbage-free when it comes to pre-installed applications, is also free of another kind of garbage — beryllium — which landed it the top spot in the advocacy group's roundup of green machines.
Hurray for Sony! But looking at
Greenpeace's new Guide to Greener Electronics, the TZ did nothing to supplant Toshiba and Samsung as the greenest gadget makers. Indeed, the green end of that scale is pretty barren.
Oh, and Nintendo is still dead last.
