How to Become a ‘Let’s Move’ City or Town

Image via Wikipedia

As part of Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative, cities and towns around the country can join the effort to slim up America’s kids.

Mayors and Elected Officials can become a Let’s Move City or Let’s Move Town.

Here’s what to do – in 4 categories:
1. Help Parents Make Healthy Family Choices: Offer parents tools, support, and information to make healthier choices for their families.

2. Improve the Health of Schools: Promote healthier food in schools

3. Increase Physical Activity Opportunities: Promote physical activity in your schools, city, or town

4. Make Healthy Food Affordable and Accessible: improve the affordability of healthy food

Mayors and elected officials are encouraged to take action in each of the 4 areas.

Rubberecycle enrouages communities to join the effort to get our kids moving. Part of that is taking them to the playground. We’re proud to contribute in a small part by creating safe and accessible playgrounds with a rubber mulch surface like the one found at the White House playground.
