As part of the Drive it Down! project at pilot school Meadowbank, year 6 Enviro Leader students took action with a 2-week schoolwide festival of active transport activities. This included Glam your Wheels Day for scooters and bikes, Wear What Ya Want Walking Wednesday and Feel Good Friday to encourage groups of kids to walk to school together.

The Meadowbank School pilot was supported by Sustainable Schools (Auckland Council).
