dumping a bunch of paper from a plane seems illegal. at the very least it seems like it's littering. but there has to be some laws you're violating.

You have a really good point
Dumping a bunch of paper is only "legal" when it's wartime propaganda.
i want to know how can you guarantee this will happen?
We are aware of litter laws and have been doing quite some research already. We have to keep an open mind and be creative here. There are ways to ensure a successful airdrop.
First let's keep a couple of things in mind that will help our case with local authorities:- We are not throwing used cans of coke from a plane. We are throwing money from a plane. The local community and authorities will be aware of this difference and will be more likely to be on our side because of this.
- 'Litter' as a result from our airdrop will remain on the streets for a short time only: The local community will be 'cleaning' the streets for us, rapidly. Again, this is money we're talking about.
- We will be printing the paper wallets onto eco-friendly paper (http://www.ecopaper.com).
- We will organize a clean-up to clean the streets from all remaining paper wallets after airdrop.
The effects on the environment will be minimal.
Dialog with local authorities prior to the event will be the key to success. This will:1) Prepare them for what is about to happen
2) Allow us to get them on our side and think with us
3) Make them aware of the measures we are taking to ensure safety and eco-friendliness.
4) Allow us to reach an agreement with them on execution plan.
The 4th point is very important here. Let's say the authorities are only fine with an airdrop in a certain area of the city. Or let's say they are only fine with an airdrop in the early morning, perhaps for safety reasons. Discussing these details will allow us to come to an agreement. Will will be flexible here.
If the authorities are unwilling to cooperate, we will be trying to see in what ways we can break the law relatively safely.
We are determined to execute this operation successfully, in one way or another.
Please remember that the people of the winning location will get their coins no matter what, even in the worst case scenario of not being able to execute airdrop for whatever legal or financial reason. In that case, we will hand out the coins from the ground.
If the dev drop himself from the plane i put all my btc in this coin! promise!
We can always consider adding a skydiving component to the airdrop!
