Being a proponent for environmentally friendly airsoft alternative is not such a bad idea. Sure we Canadians are still primarily plastic based bb users, but we're a speck in the airsoft market. Now things are changing and airsoft is growing. It's only a matter of time before the same concerns being addressed around the world with poorly made bios and the use of plane old plastic bb's raises a spokian eyebrow here in Canada.
Nothing wrong with addressing a small problem before it becomes a big one. Aren't we all looking to make a good name for airsoft, or do we just prefer to rebel against change for the sake of doing it. These sort of things usually take care of themselves, and cooler heads above this forum will eventually make these rules for us anyway.
I'm not sure how many outdoor or indoor field operators will feel about being responsible for the equivalent of 10 of thousands of plastic bottles sitting in the ground or land fills.
For instance:
1 kg bag of plastic bb's = 64 500ml empty water bottles. That's not much ammunition. Multiply that by daily gaming. Not good.
Imagine that analogy being presented to the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Canada's no different to the rest of the world. We're just getting caught up. The fact that poorly made bio bb's are around makes things a little more complicated. It's a process. It takes time.
