This does seem to be hyperbole but I would say we should use less wood mulch. (and like you mentioned use something like chipdrop which will actually decompose. It doesn't help that words like mulch have so many different meanings that it sometimes means nothing. I have found that mulching around plants with straw or hays has been the best so far. Gives a clean look, supresses weeds, and decomposes so fast.
