#WrongCallOnCoal
DOES SAMSUNG
REALLY CARE
ABOUT CLIMATE ANXIETY?
Right now Samsung C&T, an affiliate of Samsung Group, is considering whether to help build a new dirty coal power project in Vietnam, Vung Ang 2.
Yet at the same time, Samsung UK's Not a School program is teaching a course on "How to turn climate anxiety into positive action". If Samsung really cares about climate anxiety, then why is it considering building more coal power?
One thing is for sure: to ensure a safe climate, the world cannot afford to build any more outdated fossil fuel projects. No amount of greenwashing will change this simple fact.
Let's call on Samsung to prove that its concern about climate anxiety is genuine by confirming that it will not support Vung Ang 2.

Is your concern about climate anxiety genuine, @SamsungUK? Despite your #NotASchool course on How to Turn Climate Anxiety into Positive Action, @Samsung is still considering building a new coal-fired power station in Vietnam, #VungAng2. #badcallsamsung
Hosting a course on climate anxiety will not greenwash the fact that your company is supporting coal-fired power, @SamsungUK. Prove to us that your concern is genuine: call on @Samsung to rule out building #VungAng2 in Vietnam. #notaschool #badcallsamsung
Is this a case of climate hypocrisy @SamsungUK? While your #NotASchool teaches a course on climate anxiety, @Samsung is considering building a new coal-fired power station in Vietnam. #badcallsamsung
