Plastic pollution in shooting ranges and warfare areas - an overlooked environmental issue

"Shooting ranges and military training fields, including warfare-impacted areas, have been widely recognized as environmentally impacted zones by inorganic and organic contamination, such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or explosive-related compounds. However, the possible contamination by plastics and #microplastics in soil has been widely overlooked despite potential plastic sources, such as #ShotgunCartridges, plastic wads or landmines. Due to how these activities occur, plastics have remained in the field for decades or centuries, favoring their conversion from macro to microplastics, polluting the soil and water resources. Moreover, shooting and recreational activities such as #airsoft or #paintball practices could also be a substantial source of plastics to ecosystems; once shot, pellets can have conventional or biodegradable plastics in their composition, and there left in the environment, favouring impacts on soil properties. Although some initiatives have emerged to avoid the use of single-use plastics in shotgun #ammunition, alternative materials (#biodegradable plastics) can also be a potential risk, favouring the heavy metal bioavailability of shot pellets. These emerging pollutants should also be considered in these areas to understand if they could be a potential source of micro- and nanoplastics to the environment and, therefore, an environmental concern that requires changes at industrial and regulatory levels."

Scientists have tested, for the first time, how #biodegradable wet wipes break down when flushed rather than composted discovering that most wipes remain after five weeks – a finding the research team says challenges the marketing of these products.

Our researchers, in collaboration with Empa and CSEM, have developed a sustainable smart sensing tag that can be used to signal when shipments of medicines or food have exceeded a safe threshold temperature. It is the first such tag to be fully compostable.

Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart #sensing tag that measures #temperature and #humidity in real time – and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In the future, this could be used to monitor sensitive shipments such as medicines or food. The sensor tag itself is completely #biodegradable

For the most part, it works really well. This relatively small system can eat nearly all #biodegradable #trash from my two-human, two-cat household. (Yes, even the cat's kill goes in sometimes). Only when I suddenly have a lot of trash, it might not all fit in the external buffers and I might have to discard some with the general waste. The compost worms, potworms and woodlice seem very happy. I get a steady supply of high-quality #wormCastings from it. I produce so much castings that I am constantly giving them away to friends and family.

How to Bark Tan Hide

Co-authored by Mike Stramiello
Last Updated: March 10, 2025

"Bark tanning is the ancient process of creating a durable, water-repellent leather by tanning animal hide with tree bark. Bark tanning takes several months to complete but will result in a finished leather that you can use to create clothing, hinges, saddles, boots, wallets, bags, and other leather items. If you create the tree bark liquor or solution with the right ingredients, prepare the animal hide correctly, and use the right process to dye the hide, you can bark tan cattle, horse, buffalo, or pig hides.

White oak gives the leather a yellowish shade while chestnut oak turns hides a dark brown. Hemlock bark will give the leather a dark reddish-brown color." [No reason to use chrome or other dye chemicals -- make do with what nature provides!]

Things You’ll Need

- Hides
- Tree bark
- Water
- Wood chipper/shredder
- Plastic container
- Dull knife
- Salt
- Hydrated lime [which could be made from crushed, heated seashells -- more about that in another post]
