Last weekend my co-workers/friends (there should be a new, single word that accompanies this dual identity, I think) K and H and I held a field day for the whole station. We had about 40 trash bags full of bubble wrap (everything we receive in our department tends to be packed in bubblewrap that we remove while counting and labeling each item in a box or crate) that we wanted to get popped, so we started by covering the floor--especially the dance floor--with several layers of bubble wrap...
...had a bubble-wrap costume-making center...
...filled a triwall (instead of an actual tub) with bubble-wrap (instead of hot water) for the South Pole version of soaking...
...and for good measure threw in a bunch of games with makeshift equipment, like horseshoes (the shoes were made of foam), shuffleboard (for awhile we were using very expired, frozen, uncooked hamburger buns as pucks), and bowling (with tennis ball tubes as pins and a volleyball instead of a bowling ball.
It was a great time from beginning to end, especially when a sumo-wrestling contest was suggested. I'll let you experience that one for yourself:
When all was said and done, the completely popped bubble wrap fit into just 8 garbage bags, which will save a ton of plane space when it is finally transported off station next summer. Success!
Waaaayyyyy too much fun!
ReplyDeleteOne of the issues with recycling bubble wrap is its primary constituent - Polythene. You buy bubble wrap online or from the other source, it's best to save lots of them for future use rather than popping the air bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you put together everything, there is certainly no need to go any further to look for any additional information. You mentioned each and everything that too with much of ease.
