minus-squareFiveMacs@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down12·1 year ago While the balls are biodegradable, it takes two years for them to completely degrade I hate statements like these…degrade just means ‘cant be seen by human eyes’ but the rubber and plastics will still be there. Humans are cancer
