>The complete lack of awareness in this whole endeavor How do you know what awareness these groups have? Even this tiny article demonstrated that they already make bio-degradable versions. The main person mentioned, John Rogers, has an ungodly number of publications and patents, including lots on biodegradability and related issues. Or did you simply assume?

>> The complete lack of awareness in this whole endeavor I'm sticking with my original assessment. Assuming you can just make a billion of anything and dump them into the environment is a totally different mindset than literally any conservationist philosophy[1]. I'm sure these things are biodegradable in the same sense that plastics are "recyclable". Microchips aren't made out of sawdust and sugar. Junk always has consequences. [1] This philosophy motivates the "leave no trace" rule that hikers, climbers, conservationists, and nature lovers all follow. Don't throw anything into the ecosystem, not even "biodegradable" stuff like banana peels. Invasive parasites aside, just offering more foodstuff for anything doing the biodegrading disturbs the environment.
