Just because something is made of wood and will deteriorate, doesn't mean that it is OK for the environment.
I personally think PVC is the best choice you can make. I like fishing jigging spoons and there is nothing better to use for your fishing hole than PVC as far as not losing lures. Most of my clients wind up using PVC only. I will certainally use natural trees when a client requests it, but most leave it up to me.
