Pulling back from the corrupt system is halfway there, so when young people hear about the Ten Key Values, and see that the Green Party is the only political party out there which really focuses on sustainability, it just makes sense to register Green. Sustainability is about the future, and young people will be around in 2050. For those of you who are under 29 at heart, there are several important reasons to be especially interested in green youth outreach and networking. Schools and universities are a great place to get the word out about topics like proportional representation and Instant Runoff Voting. Student government elections are a great place to try out electoral reform.
Young people are generally open to new ideas, both inside and outside the classroom.
Lastly, it's a good investment. Outreach to youth will pay off over the next 60 years. Greens are long-term investors.
