>From what i have discovered, Africans are not being so much taken
advantage of....clarinet making is very low on the list of uses for
African blackwood (as I am sure this TV program depicted is there anyway
I could see it?Anyone tape it?)
Nations who are developing and having astonishingly rapid exponential
population growth need to become increasingly aware of depleting their
resources. The African economies do not want to deal with this anymore
than Americans want to stop producing devastating amounts of garbage each
day. It is all a very grim situation..... anyway,
the green line is primarily a "recycling" alternative, it is not an
alternative material, it is an alternative method. In the traditional
clarinet making method there is a 75% waste product as the wood goes from
the tree to the case.
