This is the kind of stuff that makes the whole discussion absurd...
There is out there a religion-like belief system that anything man creates is evil.
I have had wonderful success with the rubber muclch for a long time.. Organic mulch is actually more likely to ignite (simply based upon a lower combustion point and the fact that decomposition generates heat.)
A lot of this is anecdotal pseudo scientific speculation.
Could someone please provide us with some scientific proof of all the assertions made about this material.. Zinc pollution, etc..??
Unfortunately frequently entities such as the EPA will make rules based upon very tenuous evidence, and ultimately, we all are hurt by this.
