Trying a new method

Tonight one of my roommates informed me of his new approach to showering and how he felt that he was able to reduce his water use considerably. Tyler told me that if I could turn the water on to get wet, then subsequently turn the water on and off as needed to rinse off the soap I could minimize the amount of water consumed during my shower time. Even though I already only take 4-5 min showers, this method seems to allow me more time to really scrub and ensure I'm thoroughly washing rather than rushing through my showers to save a few gallons and maybe not washing as thoroughly as I could be. Tonight was the test for me and I'm definitely going to keep working with this method until I can get into a routine that works best for me.

UPS STORE..... Here we come

Well guys today was a huge day. Lots of class so i wasn't around all day. But when i got back I did a little research made many phone calls and I found it....The UPS Store recycles styrofoam. I called and they also recycle blue insulation rigid foam. As design students we face using many different materials for site and building models. Our townhouse is full of design students and we make a mess with many different materials. We spend many hours developing these models. I was using this foam for a site model and The UPS store recycles it. Its in Chestnut Hill in the Market Square Shopping Center on Crittenden St. between Mermaid Lane and Willow Grove, the address is:

The UPS Store # 4744

7715 Crittenden St.

Philadelphia, PA 19118-4421

PHONE: 215-242-2800

The gentleman was extremely nice and informative. A great Idea would be to set some sort of styrofoam collection bin outside the A&D center and we can throw all of our styrofoam collected in there and maybe once or twice a month, physical plant can drive it do this location in chestnut hill. That would be a great way to get the entire school involved because I do we use a lot of styrofoam as design students.
