Through the film Join or Die, discover why you should join a club—and why the fate of America depends on it. Follow the story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of Robert Putnam, whose legendary "Bowling Alone" research into American community decline may hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly... What can we do about it?

Come early for the movie snacks and join a discussion with the Director, via zoom, at 7:15PM.

A través de la cinta clásica “Join or Die” (Unirse o morir), descubre diversos motivos para unirte a un club — y aprende por qué el futuro de los Estados Unidos depende de ello. Sigue la historia del conflicto cívico de los Estados Unidos a través de la trayectoria de Robert Putnam, cuya legendaria investigación sobre la caída de la sociedad americana titulada "Bowling Alone" (Jugando solo a los bolos) puede ofrecer las respuestas para resolver nuestra crisis democrática actual. Respaldado por aficionados y académicos influyentes (desde Hilary Cliton, Pete Buttigieg, y el cirujano general Vivek Murthy hasta Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, y Priya Parker), además de inspiradores grupos dedicados a formar comunidades en vecindarios a lo largo del país. Acompaña a Bob mientras explora tres preguntas cívicas urgentes: ¿Qué hace que la democracia funcione? ¿Por qué se encuentra en crisis la democracia estadounidense? Y la más importante: ¿Qué podemos hacer al respecto?

Ven temprano para disfrutar de refrigerios para acompañar la película y únete a una discusión con el director vía Zoom, a las 7:15 pm.

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.
