information: Moving your bank account is quite a big undertaking, so we were genuinely surprised when people started doing it without us even suggesting it, said the Greenpeace oil campaigner Hannah Martin, according to The Guardian. This new information shows that the opposition to Barclays funding dirty tar sands projects isn't just broad but deep. Of those who signed the petition, 6,000 told the environmental group that they were ready to close their accounts if Barclays did not heed their warning, while some said they had already done so.
