This is sarcasm, right?

I'm sure you of all people can figure out what's likely going on - 
starts with "green" and ends with "washing".

I'm sure the Vinyl Institute would *love* to be considered green. I'm 
almost surprised that the NAHB didn't have the spine to say "We'd 
love to have your money, but sorry, you're not a good fit".

Fortunately most of us here are informed enough to understand the 
problems with vinyl, and make our own choices.
