Rising Tide Boston Hands Out "Green Coal" at Bank of America

BOSTON/Kenmore Square - Several environmental activists from Rising Tide Boston handed out samples of "green coal" - actual pieces of coal painted green - to lunchtime passers-by outside the Bank of America branch at Boston University today to protest the bank's investment in coal power. The activists said the painted rocks symbolized the Bank of America PR strategy of "greenwashing" its coal investments in the media, while continuing its support for the coal industry.
