I always wondered: who is picking up all that plastic waste afterwards? Never be...

I would bet that dumping a 747's worth of plastic BBs in remote UK woodland is probably not as bad as everyone driving their petrol-powered cars there.

Yeah unfortunately those BBs are going to stay there basically forever. Biodegradable means it'll degrade in like, hella hot temperatures that you'll never get unless there's a forest fire.

Plus side I don't think they degrade into microplastics? And aerate your soil! :D

Though water bottles is probably orders of magnitude more harmful to the planet.

It's being done on private property, so presumably the property owner is okay with that damage?

That plastic is still going to be there thousands of years after the property passes out of the current owner’s hands.

Biodegradable airlift BB's are unfortunately an exception in the sport.

Back when I played we used biodegradable pellets.
