Lest someone leap
immediately to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is too simple, I'll
preface it by saying that any holistic analysis of the environmental effects
of our choices is inevitably very complex and ultimately requires
multiple qualifications and copious research. That out of the
way... just about the entire life cycle of
polyvinyl chloride is really injurious to the planet and its living
creatures.
If you don't know what I mean, see
the film Blue Vinyl.
I too love LPs as physical objects, but
much of what we've been doing needs to change.On balance, sans the copious
research admittedy, I have concluded that I cannot support the resurgence of
vinyl LPs.

I woulda thought that too, since the same applies for reel to reel tape
technology. But even though their not made anymore, those tape recorders
remain beloved by many, and rather expensive on Ebay.
Vinyl is so out of style that chances
are pretty good one could find old cutting lathes etc. somewhere sitting
in a warehouse,basement,fleamarket for cheap. I wonder how much of that
gear has gone to the
dump.
