It used to be "Maiden's Prayer", a famous piano solo that tops the list of the nation's most instantly recognizable songs. But now, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has signed up "Any Empty Bottles for Sale?", by Hou Dejian, to play on all trucks collecting recyclable material. EPA Administrator Hau Lung-bin gave Hou a medal made out of recycled glass on June 24, to thank him for letting the EPA use his music to promote environmental protection.
