“Save the Galaxy” Action at Samsung Electronics HQ in Korea

Greenpeace activists hold a banner. The banner reads “Samsung: 4.3 million reasons to rethink #Save The Galaxy” at the front gate of Samsung Electronics’ headquarters in Suwon. Greenpeace East Asia demands the company to find ways to recycle valuable resources in 4.3 million brand-new Galaxy Note 7 phones. The tech giant has permanently discontinued production of the model after explosions in August due to safety concerns. The action is part of “Save the Galaxy” campaign which calls for the full disclosure of the exact cause of the fault and specific plans to deal with already-manufactured devices and those recalled.
