1. Vinyl
The problem with PVC (PolyVinyl Chloride) can be summed up in two words:
TOXIC LIFECYCLE. Throughout its lifecycle, PVC can cause harm. PVC requires hazardous
chemicals in its production and very hazardous chemicals, such as dioxin and PCBs, are
byproducts of that same production. PVC leaches or releases harmful chemicals in some
consumer products, and toxic byproducts, including dioxins, are created when it is burned.

2. D.U. Ammunition (Depleted Uranium)
The Silver Bullet!
Depleted uranium (DU) ammunition is a very recent advancement in military weapons use. Due to its effectiveness against piercing armor, DU ammunition has recently become a popular item among NATO armies and will most likely become a mainstream form of conventional ammunition among many other armies of the world. However, massive amounts of circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that the use of DU ammunition has known to cause dramatic side effects, such as health problems, stillborn babies, toxic and poisonous land, water supplies, and residential territories. Hence an important question arises, is it ethical to use DU ammunition on the battlefield?
