Naw, I'm not an angry man, just not a fan of all the "green" crap that gets shoved down the American consumer's throat. "Green" is the ultimate marketing tool because if a consumer thinks he is doing something good for the environment he will pay more for it and the marketing gurus know this. Sure, maybe using a biodegradable wad would only add a penny to the cost of a shell but there's no way the consumer is getting off that cheap. Just price the "green" shells that are currently on the market and tell me how many boxes you can afford to shoot. Heck just look at how much more we pay for regular steel shot shells even though steel is far cheaper than lead.
Like I said before though, biodegradable wads already exist. Greenlite shells use a paper wad cup and their plastic hull is completely degradable.
If you think there won't be legislation to eventually transform to all eco friendly components, think again. This left coaster is already pushing for legislation on biodegradable wads because he didn't like seeing plastic wads on the ground at his skeet club.
