If you’re interested in engaging young people in an Earth Day activity, the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board is starting a zero waste effort in Harlem. This project will start with a fun Earth Day campaign/contest that includes asking students to draw signs that will be posted in tree beds. The signs will be directed towards adults, asking them to keep the community clean by reducing litter, recycling, composting etc.

In NYC, traffic injuries, which include injuries among pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and motor vehicle occupants, are a leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits.
