SINGLE IN SCRANTON: Hell is other people

First Posted: 4/7/2013 The Borough of Clarks Summit Earth Day Celebration will be held downtown April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine.
&#8220;The goal is to bring awareness to the community and surrounding communities about how valuable the Earth is and the need to protect it,&#8221; Clarks Summit Recycling and Earth Day Chair Patty Lawler said.
As part of the Earth Day Celebration, the borough is offering a discount on parking permits.
&#8220;If you purchase a parking meter for April for the regular price of $30, you can buy a permit for May for $10 as a gift to our residents, merchants, and landlords,&#8221; Lawler said.
In addition, the borough will suspend all parking meters for Earth Day.
Clarks Summit United Methodist Church will host a Free Electronic Recycling Day April 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Everything Natural will also host a Free Electronic Recycling Day May 4 from 8 a.m. to noon in partnership with Waste management and the Countryside Conservancy. R.N. DeMeck Roof Management Services is donating a forklift and the services of an operator
CFL light bulbs can be recycled on the second floor of the borough building year round.
Students from Clarks Summit Elementary are stepping up to the plate again to take the Earth Day Challenge, now underway. The students are collecting phone books for recycling; the class the collects the most will become The Recycling Champs of 2013.
Last year, David Temprine&#8217;s third grade class won the competition.
Anyone with a phone book (s) is invited to give it to a student prior to April 18. Books will be tallied April 19 and the Recycling Champs of 2013 announced. Each member of the winning class will receive a T-shirt and be invited as junior marshals in the Borough&#8217;s Memorial Day Celebration.
Last year, more than 1,500 phone books were recycled thanks to the students. Principal Kevin Rogan and Councilwoman Patty Lawler are coordinating the event.
