Un'imagine di Cento strade - da Legambiente
24.04.2006 Sono stati almeno 100mila i ragazzi e gli adulti scesi in piazza o in strada ieri per la dodicesima edizione di "100 strade per giocare", la campagna di Legambiente dedicata al gioco e alla riconquista degli spazi urbani. Dal Nord al Sud dell’Italia, in 100 città e 250 tra piazze e strade chiuse al traffico, i volontari di Legambiente hanno organizzato concerti, clownerie e spettacoli con artisti di strada, vertenze su piste ciclabili e spazi verdi, giochi di strada tradizionali come nascondino e ruba bandiera, tornei di campana e acchiapparello, buffet a base di prodotti tipici. La novità di quest’anno è stata l’iniziativa “Caro sindaco, ti scrivo…” con cui Legambiente ha chiesto ai bambini delle scuole elementari di tutta Italia di scrivere una lettera al loro primo cittadino per segnalare le cose che non vanno e quelle che andrebbero migliorate.
