Rockaway Beach, Queens Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Rockaway Beach) will host a pop-up mobile office outside of the Arverne Stop & Shop on Thursday April 18th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Pheffer Amato and her team will set up a table to provide help dealing with government agencies and addressing quality-of-life concerns. Additionally Pheffer Amato and her team will be giving out re-usable shopping bags to commemorate Earth Day and New York State’s recent ban on plastic bags.

“Few parts of the country know how important taking care of the Earth is as well as we do and here in Rockaway it’s imperative. The widespread use of single-use plastic bags is wasteful, unnecessary and puts our marine life and our environment at risk. They also take decades to decompose. New York State has been a strong leader in fighting the very real and present threat of climate change, and tackling the usage of plastic bags is another step in protecting our environment,” said Pheffer Amato. “We need to start changing habits, and by encouraging individuals to use re-usable bags is great start- I hope to see you all at our Earth Day themed mobile office!”
