This year 158 million Americans will watch the Super Bowl.

Together they will spend $9.5 billion on Super Bowl related merchandise, including 1.8 million pieces of new furniture and 3.9 million new TVs just for the occasion.

But what will happen to the old, clunky TVs these new high-tech models are replacing? Chances are many of them will end up in huge dumpsites in Africa or Asia where workers will strip out any useful materials and set the piles of discarded TVs on fire, causing serious health risks to nearby villages. Others will end up in our landfills, where they could leak toxic chemicals into our groundwater.

Manufacturers like Samsung, the official HDTV provider of the NFL, are making millions off of the sale of new TVs, but doing nothing to ensure that the hazardous waste their products produce is recycled responsibly.

Tell Samsung CEO Dong-Jin Oh to take responsibility and kick off an e-waste recycling program.
