Community walk

Cada Paso invites you to the last walk of the year.

Cada Paso is very pleased to conclude a fantastic first year with an action-packed walk.

They will be visiting Harlem RBI, a dynamic resource in the East Harlem community, and learning about the physical activity and personal development programs they offer for children of all ages.

Also they will engage in political activism regarding proposed City Council legislation to reduce the use of plastic bags.  As we learned in our Climate and Community walk, there are 650 plastic bags PER PERSON PER YEAR consumed in NYC.  This amounts to 100,000 tons of waste, and a lot of that gets trucked through East Harlem.  Reducing plastic bags means less traffic and less pollution = safer and cleaner streets for East Harlem!  Parents will have the opportunity to call Melissa Mark-Viverito’s office in support of the legislation and to sign a written petition.

As usual, Cada Paso will provide fresh fruit for a snack break in a community garden along the way (weather permitting).  And may stop by Community Board 11 so parents know how they can stay involved in the issues important to them.

Cada Paso is in need of walk co-leaders, especially if you can help translate to Español.
