Okay... not much left to mention for me.
Except maybe that, personal qualification or not, I don't think it's a matter of laziness to use either degradable or lasting materials (which is where tape differs from cigarette butts indeed). I'm not lazy, at least not where my sense for ecology is concerned. Yet I don't think using a plastic tape streamer that lasts a year or more is not half as bad as the bottle that I buy my shampoo in. To mention just one source of plastic waste that I can't avoid.
In our sport, many thousands liters of gas are burned to reach flying sites alone, destroying our world. As long as you and I can't avoid that, should we really fight about two grams of streamer plastic?
