I tried to get that type of information from Greenpeace also. This
organization has very few truly professional people, if any. It seems to
be made up mostly of "career types" that are very afraid of real work,
like finding the data and sending it. I was passed from one person to
the next, to the next, to the next........what a joke.

The responsible person for the German summary didn't seem to know much
about the environmental problems of LF solder (energy, mining,
reliability, VP soldering). When I finally reached her at phone (after
she didn't answer two e-mails), she promised to send me data of lead
leaching from landfills but I never got a response.
So I'm afraid we can't get any useful contribution by Greenpeace.
