\"Samsung

Greenpeace UK activists give Samsung\u2019s flagship store in London a rebranding makeover to expose the tech giant\u2019s over-reliance on fossil fuels.<\/p><\/div>\n

That\u2019s why government and corporations must do everything they can to break our addiction to fossil fuels now, before it\u2019s too late. And there\u2019s one company sponsoring this year\u2019s Winter Olympics in South Korea, which has the power to transform the global tech industry…<\/p>\n

It has a bigger energy footprint than a small country. Less than 1% of the energy it uses to make its products come from renewables, meaning that if it committed to 100% renewables, it would shift the industry and set a global benchmark for others to follow. Now that sounds like a tech leader!<\/p>\n

With the support of thousands of people like you, Greenpeace is calling on Samsung\u2019s CEOs to #DoBiggerThings.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Greenpeace activists all over the world – London, New York, Taipei, Berlin – have been making sure this climate change sponsor gets the message: commit to 100% renewable energy before it is too late.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch how it all unfolded below…<\/h4>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

Despite all its PR talk of \u201cchampioning the impossible\u201d and \u201cdoing bigger things\u201d, Samsung still relies on dirty, old-fashioned fossil fuels like coal to make gadgets.<\/p>\n
