Greenpeace at CES

Earlier this month I went as part of Greenpeace’s Electronics Campaign Team to CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. There we released GP’s latest “Guide to Greener Electronics”, rating the major companies in how they compare in their sustainability. Factors considered include: Are they using Toxic Materials in their products? Do they dump “E-Waste” in third-world countries? How efficient are their products and manufacturing methods?

The show itself was a blast to experience. 3D everything seemed to be the big new thing. 3D 3D 3D?! They’re really going for it. Oh, and touch-screen everything. I was looking for a touch-screen toothbrush, but didn’t find anything. What I did find was a solar-powered cell-phone by LG, which was pretty cool.

Anyways, if you’re interested in electronics and/or sustainability and the environment, check out the Greenpeace Blog of it here: “CES Blog”
