Oh Boy ! Here we go again ! ....
Yup TT ! -> Just like all the "tons" of toxic fumes that come out the back end of our vehicles when we drive and poisons the air we all breath ! 
Or the "tons" of plastics we all dump and gets buried at the landfill which will decay in .....Oh? .... 1,000 years !
Or all the "tons" of phosphate (fertizer) and road salt that gets washed into all our waters yearly !
Shall I go on and on and on ??????????
I really don't think a few weights (I use rocks in a bio-degradable cotton bag) is going to cause much littering of a lake bottom. 
Caught a nylon web lawn chair one time and hooked with my anchor a shopping cart in the middle of a lake once.
A shopping cart in the middle of a lake -> Now I wonder how that got all the way out there ??????????
Took both out and disposed of them properly !

Since I spend so much free time fishing that my yard has never know fertilizer, I figure I've built up a few tree hugger credits. Small rocks in cheesecloth is a good idea, and way cheaper than dumping lead anyway. Gonna order a pack.
