Skating: Saturday October 17th

The Central Park Dance Skaters Association Presents: ROLLER SKATING Saturday only This Weekend at THE SKATE CIRCLE

Saturday October 17th - DJ Alchemy - Weather Permitting
NO SKATING SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18th. Due to “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer”

Please note:
Calling all skaters to join the circle: Saturday, Oct. 17th. 4:00-5:00pm

Central Park, NYC

CPDSA and World Team Now will team up to organize a human zero, “O” , or circle, made up of in-line and roller skaters in New York City’s Central Park.

We plan to be part of a global event, World Team Now and CPDSA, will join 350.org, with Spectral Q., to make a montage on Unite Now’s web site by Climate Action Day on Oct. 24th . this action will raise awareness and promote the upcoming U.N. Climate Conference in Copenhagen.

We plan to make an organized circle, zero, "O" on skates, and then begin rollin’ forward for clean emissions. The “O” will be shot from above, the photo/video will only take 5 minutes to shoot. When we start moving, rolling along, it will be symbolic, to demonstrate “the environmental global movement” and the importance of the Energy Bill moving through the USA Congress, and encourage world leaders to attend the international COP15 UN Conference this December, and move to ratify an international Climate Treaty.

The other 3 and the 5 will be made in cities like Copenhagen and Kyoto. Please join us for the photo/video and wear purple, if you can’t wear purple please wear green, blue, white or black. Click here to read more about the event.

We love to roll, a reminder that skating is a zero emissions form of transportation. We more than a stand, we are a movement for net zero buildings, and Zero emissions, and meeting the 350 emissions target. Scientists say that 350 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere is the safe limit for humanity. Read More.

A year ago, CPDSA and World Team Now (aka Team World Corps) joined together to promote “Green Jobs” and World Team Now’s “Net Meter” Event. See Skate Circle Team Rolls out for "Green" in the Rain

Thank you to the skaters that showed up in the rain, last year. We hope the weather will co-operate this year to have dry pavement for one of our last official days of outdoor skating. This year if it is raining after 2:00 pm, the event will be canceled.

To rollin’s forward and demonstrating the change we want to see together, as a “World Team Now”, for our future.

With Gratitude,

Suzanne
