SUMMARY:Community walk
DESCRIPTION:Cada Paso invites you to the last walk of the year. \nCada Paso is very pleased to conclude a fantastic first year with an action-packed walk. \nThey 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. \nAlso 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. \nAs 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. \nCada Paso is in need of walk co-leaders\, especially if you can help translate to Español. \nYou can view the previous Cada Paso First Aid (Part 2) walk here: https://www.cadapaso.us/first-aid-part-2/

SUMMARY:Lethal But Legal: Corporations \, Consumption and Protecting Public Health
DESCRIPTION:Mid – Manhattan Library welcomes Nicholas Freudenberg presenting an illustrated talk on his book Lethal But Legal: Corporations\, Consumption and Protecting Public Health \nDecisions made by the food\, tobacco\, alcohol\, pharmaceutical\, gun\, and automobile industries have a greater impact on today’s health than the decisions of scientists and policymakers. As the collective influence of corporations has grown\, governments around the world have stepped back from their responsibility to protect public health by privatizing key services\, weakening regulations\, and cutting funding for consumer and environmental protection. Today’s corporations are increasingly free to make decisions that benefit their bottom line at the expense of public health. \nThis illustrated lecture examines how corporations have impacted influenced– and plagued — public health over the last century\, first in industrialized countries and now in developing regions. It is a current history of corporations’ antagonism towards health and an analysis of the emerging movements that are challenging these industries’ dangerous practices. The reforms outlined aim to strike a healthier balance between large companies’ right to make a profit and governments’ responsibility to protect their populations. It connects the dots between unhealthy products\, business-dominated politics\, and the growing burdens of disease and health care costs. By identifying the common causes of all these problems\, then situating them in the context of other health challenges that societies have overcome in the past\, Nicholas Freudenberg provides the insights needed to take practical and effective action to restore consumers’ right to health. \nAbout the presenter: \nNicholas Freudenberg\, DrPH\, is Distinguished Professor of Public Health at Hunter College and at City University of New York School of Public Health. He is the faculty director of The New York City Food Policy Center. He studies the impact of corporate business and political practices on global health and the environment. His current work focuses on municipal policy responses to child obesity in various cities around the world including New York\, London\, Cape Town and Lisbon. \n[download id=”4003″]
