Some "natural substances found in nature" (love that line) include things that biodegrade at rates/ units called half-lives.

There is a lot of petroleum pitch in the environment. One bonus being a petroleum based product it will burn when the next fire goes through or break down in natural UV. Mother nature has been removing this substance from the environment through natural means for eons.

    Apparently the materials used have very little effect on the environment. The comment about the paint probably comes from paints usually being toxic and made to last. Im not an expert by any means, but from what i understand the biodegradable options are either more dangers (larger shards on impact meaning they could hit someone and cause injuries) or less reliable (they're too fragile and break before being launched). Clay pigeons are used a lot in wide open fields that still have plenty of stuff growing and critters around and that probably won't change
