Sptsman,

Your not rattling my cage, I really do appreciate the feedback both positive and negative. I agree with a lot of what you have said about some other "green" issues and the folks making money on it.

That being said here is some stats for you. Recent EPA stats show that over 31 million tons of plastic waste is introduced into the municipal solid waste stream per year. Less than 7% of this is recycled. That leaves 28 million tons that end up as litter or in a land fill. These figures probably don't even take shotshell wads into consideration.

I have a lot of work to do!

I don't think that you will have to worry about the "green" wads becoming mandatory. I think once the product is proven to work, it will become part of the normal process of shotgun shell production for all of the shotshell companies and you will just get it when you buy a box or case of shells, just as you get a non-biodegradable shot wad when you buy shells today. In other words buying shells without the "green" wads will be unusual.

Thanks for the responses and the well wishes.
