If you live more than about 500 miles from the place where they
actually recycle the plastic, it is a wash environmentally.
Most of the plastic is burned in the waste to energy incinerator here,
whether it came from the trash stream or the recycle stream.
The only recycling that actually makes economic sense this far from
the recycler is metal.
Recyclers don't really want "dirty" bottles anyway like the ones I
find floating in the water.
I do wonder how Harry is picking up all the bits of plastic from the
bottles he explodes. I can see him getting the big pieces but it is
the little ones that are a danger to wildlife.

Our range does not allow exploding targets. Bottles count?



Our range is private and allows whatever we want. We don't shoot glass,
though. Too dangerous.


Must be a trashy range.



Oh, really? It's on a multi-acre lot that backs right up to the
Shenandoah River, and probably 90% of it is heavily wooded. The property
is lovely. The shooting range is on a tiny sliver. It would only be
trashy if you showed up.

Except for all of the little bits of plastic laying around.


Naw. We clean up after we finish. I'm not saying we get it all, but we
get most of it. It's not like its unzoned Florida, after all.

How many boats you hit on the river? So little bits of plastic are not
trashy?

Little bits of plastic are tough on birds. If they pick them up they
get a gizzard full of plastic that will not help them digest food and
never go away.


snerk Mr. Nature.

Yeah

I am interested in the environment. Is that a bad thing?

I would suggest shooting at biodegradable targets. Do they really need
to explode?
Maybe you should just buy a set of steel targets and shoot like the
adults.

That's pretty silly. Most gun nuts shoot plastic bottles. Youtube is
full of videos of them doing it. And I doubt plugging a plastic leaves
a lot of "little pieces" that birds gobble up.
Plastic is a sea bird problem.

Fill it with water to get explosions.
