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.
