A message to all those non-believers of Generation Y: Look, We’re not THAT bad.
Even with all our new-fangeled technology, hip music, fast-food
obsessions, and what some would call “edgy behavior,” we are still
trying to save this planet!
A group of students out of the University of Colorado Boulder chapter of CoPIRG
(Colorado Student Public Interest Research Group) are giving up
their Spring Breaks to fight for better transportation choices. Would
you trade your Mai Tai’s on a beach for picket signs on hot
asphalt? I know I wouldn’t.
But that’s exactly what these students are doing to rally for more RTD access points
and more funding for the Colorado FasTracks
rail/BRT initiative.
These students believe that in these hard times people are going to
be looking more towards public transit and the State better give the
people what the people want. According to students like Will Webster and
Bryon Musante, the people want rail across the Interstate
70 corridor.
So Mom and Pop, before you think about lecturing about “Back in
my day…” remember, back in your day you didn’t have light rail.
