WHY GREENS OPPOSE HS2

The HS2 Rail project has the official support of every mainstream political party in England and Wales bar one - The Green Party. It's also inspired a wave of non aligned environmental groups to set up protest camps along the route. That's some going for a scheme touted as part of the solution to meeting the UK government's zero net carbon commitment. So why do so many people who would broadly identify as 'green' stand against a rail network designed to take hundreds of thousands of cars and lorries off the road? Adrian Goldberg meets campaigners Victoria and Charlotte, who are concerned about the devastation wrought on a Warwickshire woodland by HS2. He also talks to Natalie Bennett who represents the Green Party in the House of Lords, and hears from Byline Times writer Stephen Delahunty.
