Lead Bullets

To whom it may concern,

There are many objectives that could and should be completed under the banner of the "green" movement. A litany of projects could be implemented in order for this nation to become more sustainable. While some projects are of a higher priority than others, there remains a vast array of projects that could be considered low hanging fruit. These projects could easily be changed with legislation, amendments, and even executive orders. One of these low hanging fruits, for example, is the lead content of ammunition. With the hundreds of thousands of rounds that go off in America every year, a significant amount of lead waste is left to pollute the water and land. These munitions could easily be replaced by more benign copper bullets. With the many “green” projects ongoing in your administration, have you thought about forming a blue ribbon commission to comprehensively review the myriad small-scale projects within both the federal government and the nation as a whole?
