.: Description :.

Guide to Greener Electronics, 2011 edition; analysis edited by the Association Greenpeace that evaluates the more environmentally friendly technology companies.
The analysis was conducted on three macro-areas: energy, more "green" products and environmental sustainability.

The guide to greener electronics, compiled by Greenpeace, is a document that summarizes the policies and actions to help the environment by companies involved with technology (cell phones, TVs, PCs, etc.); the guide is an interesting and detailed list of the companies more "green."
Greenpeace has started to publish this guide on the internet in 2006 and continues to this day.
In its 17th edition, that of 2011 presented here, the guide points out the top 15 producers with regard to the policies and practices aimed at:
· Reduce the climate impact;
· Produce greener products;
· Carry out activities more sustainable.
The companies involved also must account for emissions and the type of energy used for production (not only from its own factories, but also from the factories of suppliers), also taking into consideration the attitude towards the promotion of legislation that promotes efficiency energy.

.: Hints concerning the curator :.

Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization[1] with offices in over forty countries and with an international coordinating body in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Greenpeace states its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity" and focuses its work on world wide issues such as global warming, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling and anti-nuclear issues. Greenpeace uses direct action, lobbying and research to achieve its goals. The global organization does not accept funding from governments, corporations or political parties, relying on more than 2.8 million individual supporters and foundation grants. Greenpeace is a founding member of the INGO Accountability Charter; an international nongovernmental organization that intends to foster accountability and transparency of non-governmental organizations.

Greenpeace evolved from the peace movement and anti-nuclear protests in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the early 1970s. On September 15, 1971, the newly founded Don't Make a Wave Committee sent a chartered ship, Phyllis Cormack, renamed Greenpeace for the protest, from Vancouver to oppose United States testing of nuclear devices in Amchitka, Alaska. The Don't Make a Wave Committee subsequently adopted the name Greenpeace.

In a few years, Greenpeace spread to several countries and started to campaign on other environmental issues such as commercial whaling and toxic waste. In the late 1970s, the different regional Greenpeace groups formed Greenpeace International to oversee the goals and operations of the regional organizations globally. Greenpeace received international attention during the 80s when the French intelligence agency bombed the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland's Waitemata Harbour, one of the most well-known vessels operated by Greenpeace, killing one individual. In the following years, Greenpeace evolved into one of the largest environmental organizations in the world.

Greenpeace is known for its direct actions and has been described as the most visible environmental organization in the world. Greenpeace has raised environmental issues to public knowledge, influenced both the private and the public sector. Greenpeace has also been a source of controversy; its motives and methods have received criticism and the organization's direct actions have sparked legal actions against Greenpeace activists.
