Recycle Your Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
23 Jun 08 | Green Ideas
If you’re a new Boutique Apartments resident, chances are that you received a free compact fluorescent bulb in your welcome basket.
These energy-saving and long-lasting bulbs will (eventually) wear out, and when they do, you
can now drop off used compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and mercury-containing thermostats for free recycling at any Ace Hardware store in the state. The spiral shaped bulbs contain a small amount of mercury and should not be thrown away in the trash.

Last Hat in Town, at Neighborhood Flix, March 18
12 Mar 08 | Movies
Join the Documentary Cinema Institute as they present a Guest Forum screening of “Last Hat in Town,” with Colorado filmmaker Zachary Fink.
Date: Tuesday, March 18
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Neighborhood Flix Cafe, 2510 E. Colfax (at the intersection of Colfax and Columbine, next to Tattered Cover and behind Twist and Shout)
Cost: $10
Last Hat in Town chronicles the transformation of the Rocky Mountains from wide-open ranch land to a patchwork of natural gas drilling sites. Three very unique men are struggling to find new ways to live in this changing landscape. In an intimately interactive direct-cinema style, Soul Fabric Films tells their stories. The closely observed details of their struggles accumulate to a complex and heart-rending story of the loss of a way of life. It is boom-time in the Rocky Mountains. The rush to extract trillions of cubic feet of natural gas in Colorado has forever altered these romanticized landscapes as well as the people who have lived here for generations.
