Ban all public balloon releases
Place a ban on all balloon releases immediately.
Why is this important?
The plastic waste in our oceans and open land is growing, this is killing off many wonderful species, farm animals and birds. It is also getting into the food chain and is toxic. "Biodegradable" balloons burst to look like jellyfish and take 6 months to rot away, but balloon manufacturers say "as fast as an oak leaf", so people assume they are fast rotting. Lastly, helium is a finite resource which should not be used for balloon releases.
