Environmental Organisations
350 Aotearoa is a group of young people from secondary school age and upwards from around New Zealand who are concerned about the effects of climate change on our future and that of the planet. On 6 December 2008 the initiative was launched in Waitangi Park, when Wellington came alive to the sounds of the 350 Climate Action Festival. Planning for where 350 Aotearoa will be going in 2009 is taking place at the moment.
