Dangers of Sky Lanterns
Impose a national ban on sky lanterns.
Why is this important?
Sky lanterns may look pretty, but the frames can kill or harm farm animals, and the candles are a major risk to crop yields and buildings. They are also a potential danger near airports as they can distract pilots, and the Coastguards are concerned as they can be mistaken for distress flares. They add little to enjoyment, and the problems with them far outweigh any fun people find in them. They should be banned.
