Every year we change thousands of burned tubes and replace them with new ones. On average the University buys 82 000 linear feet of tubes per year (according to stats from 2006). We can assume that the same amount is going for disposal. </p> Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:07:19 +0000 helen.bowman@mail.mcgill.ca 263 at /sustainability
