Go to any dump or propane refill station and you will see hundreds of empty tanks; after 10 years they cannot legally be refilled without testing and recertifying, which is more expensive than a new tank. Artist Shirra Wall puts them to use, cutting them up into fireplaces and many other art forms. (we hope she makes certain they are empty before attacking them with the torch). ::Shining Sun via ::Great Green Goods
