Fandom & environmentalism

Nearly all of my vid collections are in plastic slipcases. Shouldn't we be looking into cardboard/biodegradable packaging for vid collections, a la indie record productions?

This thought brought to you by the purchase of too many and yet unregretted indie/alternative CDs in the past two months, and also by the knowledge that I won't be putting together a vid collection myself anytime soon.

I'm already on it for my next release, although so far my research has shown cardboard sleeves to be prohibitively expensive.

::nods:: Well, speaking as a consumer, this is an expense I expect to get passed on to me.

My hope was to release them for free this time, but maybe I'll do a poll about it (free vs. pay for eco-friendliness).
