Stunt Goes Boldly Where No Green Vandals Have Gone Before



.Greenpeace and Canadian-born actor William Shatner joined forces against Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) and accused the company of "breaking green promises" for not producing products completely free of PVC plastic and brominated flame retardants. Activists from the radical environmental group painted a giant message on the roof of Hewlett-Packard's headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. that read "Hazardous Products."

And in addition to the rooftop graffiti, Greenpeace set up an automated message to dial HP employee's numbers and then play them a recorded message from Shatner.

A representative from HP told the Business and Media Institute

"The unconstructive antics at HP's headquarters did nothing to advance the goals that all who care about the environment share, ... HP has recycled one billion pounds of electronic products from 1987-2007..."

Go green[er] or have your private business robocalled and vandalized.

HP declined to comment on the possibility of pressing charges against Greenpeace.
