Thought they’re talking about airsoft lol

Are those biodegradable?
ReptileMan•45m ago
Kinda. I think that modern airsoft balls degrade in a couple of years. Which shouldn't be an issue in a dedicated venue.
Sharlin•31m ago
Would think it's trivial to make those from cellulose or something, but I guess it's always about money. Most "biodegradable" plastics are just turned into smaller pieces of plastic by UV.

Well, I guess you could say that the government is doing something if a single member of parliament chooses to do some volunteer work on her free time.

The water companies are too busy lobbying for price rises/manufacturing consent in the media (of which these stories are a part of. The water companies will again claim they are a victim of low bills meaning they can't invest which is what causes these events...)

It's all so insidious

UK gov will permit bills to rise and nothing will fundamentally change when it comes to water in the UK except how much we pay

From a wastewater treatment plant no less.
