Email big four banks - don't fund Adani to dredge the reef

GetUp has set up an excellent little site. You can follow a link to whichever big four banks you may be with, and email the bank telling them as a customer that you will not accept their funding the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef. Go here.

This is what they want to do to the Great Barrier Reef. So they can make the biggest everest coal mine when the world is turning to clean energy:



This was my little effort to the Commonwealth Bank:
 Dear Commonwealth Bank,

I have been following lately the Adani saga, trying to get funding to dredge the reef, and dig up more coal when the world is turning to Green energy.

I have been a customer with you since 1985. I will be reconsidering who I bank with if you fund Adani.

Thank You

Meanwhile in the Canberra clown show, the gov is shitting itself as the Great Barrier Reef is about to be listed as "In danger" by the World Heritage Committee. Gee, I wonder why they would think that?
Australia's environment ministers have made a desperate dash to Europe in a last ditch effort to stop the Great Barrier Reef being declared "in danger" over fears it will damage the region's multi-million dollar tourism industry. 

Greg Hunt and Andrew Powell are due to hold secret talks with members of the World Heritage Committee ahead of the release of the official world heritage sites listing. 

The committee is due to meet in February 2015 to prepare a report on Australia's response to the Reef's massive loss of coral along its 2300km length. Read more
