Workshop for Parents: JC Plastic Ban and How to minimize use of Plastic
2019-03-21 11:00 - 12:00 | Zaniac Jersey City, 125 1st Street, Jersey City, NJ, 07302, United States
Workshop for Parents: JC Plastic Ban and How to minimize use of Plastic
We typically use plastics bags for less than 15 minutes before they are discarded. The average American household uses 1,500 bags every year. In landfills, depending on conditions, plastics can last 100,000+ years (!) to break down.
Jersey City will enforce a citywide ban on single-use plastic carry-out bags starting June 28, 2019. As households we can also reduce our use of plastic and find better alternatives.
Don’t know where to start? Join our FREE workshop with Melissa Kozakiewics from the City of Jersey City.
She will talk about the upcoming Plastic Ban, as well as how to minimize use of plastic and finding alternatives to plastic in the daily life.
RSVP is required, register HERE to attend. You can also submit questions ahead of time using the registration form.
Address for the workshop: Zaniac Jersey City, 125 1st St, Jersey City, NJ 07302

Awareness about the Single-Use Plastic Ban
Plastic bags have become a huge problem for our environment and recently the City of Jersey City has passed legislation that will ban single-use plastic bags starting in the Summer of 2019. While we have some time to get ready to shift gears in the way we live our lives, it would probably be good if more of us were in touch with the facts about why this step is so important. This film and discussion event is to provide citizens with a broad context about the importance of recycling plastic items and in particular to generate some momentum for banning single-use plastic bags in Jersey City.
Format for the evening will include some refreshments and then kick off with a presentation by special guest Tim Keating / Earthbilt who has been a long time passionado about all the waste us human beings create on this earth. After we screen the film, we will hear from City Officials about the Single-Use Plastic Bag Ban and the No Straws Campaign, and the evening will end with a Q/A session.
More about the film here.

DATES & TIMES: Wednesdays 7-8:30pm and Saturdays 11-12:30pm

LOCATION: Near Van Vorst Park (Contact for more info)

DESCRIPTION:
Limited to 6 participants. SIGN-UP ONLINE to reserve your space.
Optimize your health and performance while learning a highly practical form of self-defense. Appropriate for all levels.
Systema builds its foundation on the principles of the physiological systems of the human body. The four major principles of study are Breathing, Relaxation, Structure, and Movement. Instead of teaching various techniques for various situations, Systema focuses on methods that develop movements that are explosive, effortless, spontaneous and unpredictable all while remaining free of excessive tension or emotion- the hallmarks of a true professional. The result is highly efficient, practical martial application that is both unpredictable and explosive. There are no competitions, no belts, no forms to memorize, or traditions to follow. Instead we focus on examining ourselves, the extent of our limitations, and to see how proud and weak we really are. Systema is also known by another name “poznai sebia” or “Know Yourself.”

Ward Tour sign-in and bib pickup begin at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall, located at 280 Grove St. in downtown Jersey City. Please arrive early enough to wait in a line or two, pick up your bib and pin it on. We recommend arriving no later than 10:00. We will all line up for the start at 10:45 and begin riding promptly at 11:00 a.m., in one large group. Helmets are required for all participants. Only riders 12 and over are allowed to ride individually in the Ward Tour. Younger riders can ride on an adult’s bicycle (in a seat, trailer, etc.). Adults, please register all kids coming with you too!
We’ll ride about 16 miles on streets closed to traffic, with a police escort. We’ll make a clockwise loop around the city, at a relaxed pace (10 mph), taking breaks, and returning around 1:00 p.m. to the finish. There we’ll continue to celebrate cycling all afternoon at our Finish Line Festival on the Hudson River waterfront, including the Lutze Biergarten, featuring live music, food and drinks, vendors and other attractions.
Please read all of the information in the Ward Tour Waiver Form when you register and fill in all required fields.
You must agree to the terms of the waiver and conditions on the registration page to participate.
Registration is free, with a $5 suggested donation to fund our year-round efforts to make cycling better, safer, more accessible and more fun in Jersey City.
PLEASE NOTE: This year’s Ward Tour & Festival is officially a rain-or-shine event.
We’ve realized it’s just too big and complex to organize it twice, and we can’t get permits twice, get a police escort twice, etc., for a rain date.
So we will ride June 3 even if it’s raining, in any weather that’s not dangerous, or simply cancel till next year for any that is (e.g. lightning, hail, very high winds, plague of frogs …). There will be no refunds, because it’s free! But as we’ve mentioned elsewhere, if you gave us, or plan to give us, the suggested $5 donation (or $5 million or whatever), those are non-refundable. And thank you!!
