    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

      “The little blue balls are made of natural rubber…"

      Go on, tell us natural rubber does not biodegrade.

      That’s not true, if something counts as biodegradable it actually is, it doesn’t just get shredded into smaller pieces.

      Doesn’t biodegradable mean that they are broken down through biological processes? I’d think that would mean proper chemical breakdown instead of just breaking into smaller pieces.
