Members of Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) and the Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club are taking action against mountaintop removal coal mining through “Green Your Money”, a PNC Bank divestment campaign. On December 1, 2012 thirteen local participants with EQAT and the Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club took a sample of tap water contaminated by mountaintop removal coal mining from Eunice, West Virginia into PNC Bank’s Hockessin Branch to show bank personnel and customers.

In August, and again in September, we spread the word about the hazards of mountaintop removal coal mining on the University of Delaware’s Newark campus with the University of Delaware’s Students for the Environment (S4E) and the Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT).

Because of PNC Bank's support of mountaintop removal coal mining, we closed our Chapter account. We are asking our members to close your accounts too!
