[kj] some news

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I tried to find an article about the eco-fascists at Greenpeace ruining 
all your fun, but all I could find was stuff about Greenpeace 
encouraging people to not use disposable PVC ("vinyl") products and 
pushing for factories that do manufacture vinyl/PVC to have tougher 
emission standards. I didn't see anything about banning record albums, 
or much less that "Greenpeace have pretty much got the production of 
records outlawed" like you said. I think maybe they were too busy trying 
to make sure Bernard Manning was also ruined for you, to do that.

Until not too long ago, the US govt. (Library of Congress) preferred 
vinyl as a means to archive audio precisely because it isn't 
biodegradable. Stuff is usually put on vinyl to document or archive it 
permanently, not to deteriorate, like acid free paper in books. Few want 
a biodegradable book collections. That's different than a disposable 
camera or plastic water bottle, etc., which should be degradable, since 
once it's used, it's tossed. There's nothing evil about wanting 
factories that produce vinyl to severely decrease toxic emissions.
