Writing:  Writing should be 500 words or less, and can be any form--poetry, prose, a satirical description--involving or from the point of view of your creature. Have fun with it, and email to huntertapestry@gmail.com when you're done!

THE NEW TRASH-CANS  

Wondering what the new trash cans in the hallways are?  They're bins meant for - and only for - crumple-able plastics like candy wrappers and plastic bags.  Please do not throw other trash, including hard plastics, metals, food, papers, etc. into them.  

Placed in the hallways by Eco-Bricks, we hope to start a growing project of recycling previously non-recyclable plastics in homemade furniture - the first to do so in the entire country, at Hunter.  

Please, be conscientious.  Take the extra moment to verify that the trash you're throwing into the Eco-Bricks trash cans belongs there.  We cannot make a change without your cooperation.  Thank you!      
     
Submissions due Thursday, January 5th.
