Video game consoles are capable of achieving spectacular visual effects and technological wizardy, but have you ever wondered what items enable them to obtain those effects.

As it turns out, the guts of gaming consoles, ie, the processors, motherboards, etc. are not environmentally friendly, which is disturbing considering the push towards ‘green electronics.’ Gamespot has the report here.

A rather interesting video from Greenpeace International, who has voiced these concerns, can be seen below:

Speaking of cleaner environments, if the results of the Florida Supreme Court trial are any indication, Jack Thompson will be unable to continue his anti-gaming crusade. Destructoid has the results of his trial here, and should he be disbarred, the gaming environment will be much cleaner due to his absence.

Or maybe not so much, as there are sure to be many anti-gaming politicians who are eager to take his place; Gamecyte interviews one of them, Leland Yee, a California State Senator, in two videos below.

The lessons here? Simple, our environment has to be managed properly, in both ecological and entertainment situations, if not, it could lead to both our mind and planet being polluted.
