Coffee beans as art?

Your commute from work is finally over. As you approach the front door you are greeted by your five year old daughter shouting "I WON FIRST PLACE."

You did....in what? You reply. Art class... she shouts back. Let me show you!

She takes you by the hand leading to the kitchen. There on the refrigerator door... She says. Do you like it?

Yes! it's great! As you look closer, the picture of the family cat is made up of your best coffee beans glue gunned to a poster board.

Thanks Dad...

All is well, Starbucks just next door to Mc.Donald's.

The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...
