When recycling plastic in Carbondale, stick to bottles, tubs, jars, and jugs. No clamshells, plastic bags, coffee cups, or takeout containers. If it's not a bottle, tub, jar, or jug, toss it in the trash. These items can't be sorted and there is no end-user market for them.

Recyclables in Carbondale shouldn't be bagged. Just place them loose in a bin. If your recyclables are in grocery or garbage bags, they're likely being thrown in the landfill instead. Bagging your recyclables may even cause entire loads to be rejected. This is because bags cause jams in the sorting machines which can slow down lines and cause costly damage. Other items that aren't recyclable are bubble wrap, food wraps, and garden hoses.

Everyone has a story. Everyone is a memoir. We’ll engage in thoughtful discussions about “being a writer” and the art of writing, practice mindfulness for awakening our Writer Muses, expand our memoir writing with storytelling and wordplay, read sections of published memoirs for inspiration, and dive into prompts to recall and ignite the stories inside of us. We'll jump “write” in to write and inspire each other! Sharing your writing is always optional. This series celebrates connection. How and what you contribute is up to you. Bring a journal, as well as water and a snack if you wish to.

Todos tenemos una historia. Todos somos una autobiografía. Participaremos en discusiones profundas sobre lo que representa “ser escritor(a)” y el arte de la escritura; practicaremos la conciencia plena para despertar a nuestras Musas de la Escritura; enriqueceremos nuestra autobiografía con juegos de palabras y lenguaje figurativo; leeremos fragmentos de autobiografías publicadas para inspirarnos; y exploraremos ideas para recordar y encender las historias que viven en nuestro interior. ¡Comenzaremos de inmediato a redactar, inspirándonos mutuamente! Compartir tu redacción será opcional. Esta serie celebra los vínculos interpersonales. Lo que contribuyas y la manera en que lo hagas dependerá de ti. Trae contigo un diario para escribir, al igual que una botella con agua y un refrigerio, si lo deseas.
