Surely there's more nasties in the computer you used to post this,
the car you'll drive to pick stuff up etc,
than a few metres of PVC that has already been produced and sitting on a shelf that will end up in landfill if noone was to buy it?
And I take it you cycle everywhere too?
I will admit that I have only skimmed it, but as far as i can tell, while is goes in to a lot of depth about why PVC is bad, it spends little or no time considering what the alternatives are, and how may they or other plastics are.http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/files/pdfs/migrated/MultimediaFiles/Live/FullReport/5575.pdf would go into far more detail than I ever could.
At the risk of contradicting myself, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It has no adverse health effect (unless you try to breathe 100% CO2?).
My understanding is that CO2 is toxic in concentrations > 15%

Current concentration is 0.04%. We have a long way to go.
It's great that some people care about the environment but unfortunately individual action will have next to no impact...

I agree with all of this.
I must say, though, that although the sight of wind turbines doesn't upset me at all, what does upset me about them is the money that has been wasted on something that contributes next to nothing to our power generation needs.

Those in power must help their mates...
To an extent it is true, but equally if everyone toke time to reduce there impact, the net effect would be significant. And obviously, that includes China/India etc but leading my example is a good start!It's great that some people care about the environment but unfortunately individual action will have next to no impact.
We in the UK are trying to cut down on greenhouse emissions yet at the same time vast countries like China and the US have no targets to cut down on theirs.
