Play Eco Beer Pong
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
I have always loved to get together with friends, relax, and play some fun games. Recently, I had a couple roommates who are really big fans of the game of beer pong. I was totally happy to hear this because I have actually been a fan of the game for a very long time. They go through hundreds of beers and beer cans per week, usually hosting at least 3 "king of the table" nights per week. The game of beer pong is very simple. All you have to do is throw a ping pong from your side of a ping-pong table into one of the cups filled with beer on the opposite side. When your opponent drains a ball into a cup on your side of the table, you have to drink the beer in that cup and remove the cup from the table. The team who makes a ball in all of their opponent's cups first is the winner. This great game is fun and challenging, and you also go through SO MUCH beer.
Probably due to the hassle and the upfront money necessary for kegs, most people who play beer pong get beer by the cans, typically in packs of 30. There is obviously a lot of "aluminum can consumption" involved with beer pong, which for a long time is something I had not considered enough. I always made an effort in my life to recycle aluminum cans, I remember going down to the local aluminum recycling company and getting paid cash for cans when I was a kid. But if I am to be really honest, I definitely missed out on some opportunities in recent years to make sure I am being eco friendly.
And so, it was refreshing and inspiring when I first saw my roommate's Chris and John working so diligently on a daily and weekly basis to make sure that every single can used at our house is recycled. Honestly, do you know what many people that go through hundreds of aluminum cans per week? And how many do you know that recycle hundreds of cans per week? Furthermore, how many folks do you know that will proactively recycle on behalf of everyone else's usage? I've seen Chris and John over at other people's house's making sure they are recycling, and if they are not, taking away their aluminum cans for them. The garage takes the brunt of it, and believe it or not, the massive pile of cans in the corner does actually have a trash bin in there, you just can't see it. And when it comes time for clean up, there is a lot of can crunching involved, which can really be pretty fun if you have a crew and some good music. The thing that really inspires me about my roommates is that they just don't stop with cans. They honestly look to recycle everything they can possibly recycle in the house. Whether it be using rechargeable batteries or recycling glass and paper, they will find the most "green" way of doing something. Our community doesn't really offer anything that makes it convenient or easy to recycle, but yet Chris and John make it a constant priority to "figure out a way", regardless of circumstances.
When people like Chris and John lead by example in their efforts to be Eco Friendly, it creates the possibility for a domino effect on the people around them, who observe their efforts and are inspired. The truth is, it takes substantial efforts to be a green ambassador. It's not a spectator sport; you won't make a difference if you merely "support" the green movement, it is not a spectator sport, you must take action. For instance, take the riddle of moving the cans to a recycling center. Do we use a gas guzzling truck on the way? And what about the containers we use to transport the aluminum cans? If large plastic trash bags or a bunch of grocery bags are thrown away in the process of trying to get the cans recycled, aren't we negating some of our eco-friendly progress? Things like reusable green bags, reusable water bottles and hybrid vehicles are remedies that will allow us to truly have an overall positive impact and not go "two steps forward, two steps back".
The consistent, and deliberate action of real people like me and you is the only way the green movement will be able to sustain itself. Like all wonderful human accomplishments, on an individual or group level, it is the leaders (like Chris and John) who have the courage to actually take consistent action who motivate others to make positive changes in their lives and in the world. And with Beer Pong, which has become something of a "phenomena" among the world's youth, think of all the cans that can be saved by good samaritans like Chris and John. Young people take notice when something becomes "the popular" thing to do, and will definitely notice when their friends are taking action. It is absolutely amazing to think about the amount of cans that we can save from being put into a landfill through recycling the cans used in beer pong!
