The University of Wisconsin  in Madison has a program to reduce polystyrene waste.  They reached out to Ben McCall to get a letter of support.  Meanwhile, Bart Bartels, Seth Rients, and Shantanu Pai suggested we could start a similar program now, rather than wait to know if Wisconsin's funding comes through.  Ben suggested the following questions to consider as a starting point.

1. Where can we set up local "staging areas" in the relevant buildings?
2. Who can move things from the staging areas to a central location for bundling?  Students?
3. Can we identify "local" (St. Louis, Chicago, Indy) companies such as Sigma that would want these?
4. How can we arrange to truck them to those companies?  [I wonder if we could even send them back on the trucks that drop off chemical orders?]
