An insight in the challenge that lies ahead for the newly-formed UK Green Building Council care of its US counterpart. The US-GBC has released a report on the soundness or otherwise of using PVC. The conclusion there is no clear yes or no answer as to whether you should use the substance or not - it is a much more "nuanced" issue than a black or white one. Fudge anyone?

US blogger Preston Koerner on his Jetson Green site has a pop at the USGBC for being spineless in not nailing its colours to the mast. There's clearly a tightrope act being played here by the body between manufacturers (and members) and practitioners, leading to lengthy research and thinking (the USGBC first took up the PVC issue in 2002) as well as potentially muddied conclusions. It will be interesting to see whether the UK version will take on such poisoned chalices.
