Jeff:
    You may not change the world, but you are reaching a group that can do a
LOT towards changing errors like these.
     I'm guilty of spreading the non-renewable story a little myself in that
I wrote about coconut fiber peat substitutes and referred to sphagnum as
being only slowly renewable.  From having seen sphagnum in Wisconsin, I knew
that it renewed itself, but I didn't know how fast, and had to hedge on it
in the article.
    In any case, keep bringing up things like this.  They are a prime reason
why this list exists.
EDUCATE US SO WE CAN EDUCATE OTHERS.
