That one hipster who cares about vegan vinyl: “My time has come.”

Shellac has been out of vogue for quite some time, I think basically all records are vegan.

Vegan vinyl is great. Once you get tired of the record you can slice it up and make pasta.

I she going on tour on a bike too?

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, or even by train when possible?

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would be nice, but this kind of tour means several truckloads of equipment and people, not really feasible by train I'm afraid.

If we cant do a thing perfectly then we shouldnt even try or take any better steps?

Common sentiment I find in Lemmy or Reddit comments.

I don't think I've ever heard her music, but I applaud her taking some form of action and making noise about it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Eilish, who is a long-standing climate campaigner, told Billboard magazine she felt compelled to tackle the problem.

"My parents have always kept me well informed and hyper aware that every choice we make and every action we take has an impact somewhere or on someone, good or bad, and that has always stuck with me," said the multiple Oscar and Grammy Award-winner.

Greg Cochrane, who hosts the music and sustainability podcast Sounds Like a Plan, called the star's announcement a "significant step".

Eilish's announcement comes after the star criticised artists who release multiple vinyl formats to boost album sales, calling the practise "really frustrating".

After the singer's mother, Maggie Baird, interrupted to point out that multiple vinyl sales "counts toward number one albums", Eilish responded: "I can't even express to you how wasteful it is."

Single LP colours will be made using BioVinyl - which replaces the petroleum used to manufacture Polyvinyl chloride with recycled used cooking oil.

So she's not going to go on tour? That's the real climate culprit when it comes to music.
