[Jewelry making - Article 00035] - [Orchid] Ozone friendly torches?

    I found this very cool butane torch on sale: 

    http://www.chefdepot.net/minitorch.htm 

    and, in the description, it says, "...ozone friendly, too!" So I
    started to wonder... does butane have less environmental impact than
    other fuels? I know MAPP is a petroleum by-product, which makes me
    shy of using it, but I assumed propane was natural gas, which seems
    to be less of a problem. I'm no expert, though. Anyone know about
    this?

    PS: Please, if you think the ozone layer is doing fine, and the
    greenhouse effect is a hoax, don't respond to this post, on or off
    list. I don't want to hear about it. I'm a tree hugger who won't even
    burn paraffin candles, so you aren't going to change my mind.
