Top Ten ways to conserve our resources

Matt Melton

11. Take showers only two to three times a week, when they’re really necessary. If you didn’t exercise one day, why waste 10 minutes acting like you did?

10. Prank your RA’s by shutting off the electricity to their rooms. Take it from me, we don’t need it…

9. Turn your thermostat off and play DDR to heat your room! Seriously, it works well. Or, get a boy/girlfriend. Or use your roommate...…’s boy/girlfriend.

8. Use smaller TV’s. In fact, if your TV is more than 27 inches large, just put it in Skinner A section storage for the year….

7. Do less laundry! You can pull off wearing jeans for at least four times before you wash them. In fact, if you wear a swimsuit to class, AND go swimming everyday, you’re set ‘til Christmas!

6. Shut off your rival hall’s water. Average shower time will drop to 2 minutes flat! (Note: Do not try this in a res hall with girls. They will find out who you are, and you will regret it. forever.)

5. Do all your Con Apps assignments on one sheet of engineering paper. All of them. One sheet. Total. (Don’t forget the diagrams!)

4. Use a white board for any calculations. For those without a white board, use a window. It’s way cooler anyways.

3. Shut off the fluorescent lights and put up LED Christmas lights! They use as much as 90% less power than standard lights. Google it people!

2. Shut the lights off in the academic buildings at night! Roller skating from Olin to Crapo at night would be way more impressive if it was pitch black.

1. Everyone, use the waterless urinals all the time. Start practicing ladies!
