Generation Zero – Young people at work on Transportation Choice!
There were more than a few raised eyebrows on the train from Ngauranga to Wellington today as 40 young people did the morning commute in their underwear.
They were part of a youth environmental group called Generation Zero, which fights for climate change action and inter-generational justice.
Group organiser James Young-Drew, 22, said the stunt was designed to launch their 50:50 campaign, which is protesting the government’s plans to spend $14 billion on highway projects over next decade but not nearly as much on ”smart transport options” such as light rail, buses and cycleways.
