All released balloons, including those falsely marketed as “biodegradable latex,” return to Earth as ugly litter. They kill countless animals and cause dangerous power outages.

Balloons are also a waste of Helium, a finite resource. Balloons can travel thousands of miles and pollute the most remote and pristine places.

If you are thinking about having a balloon release….please think again!

It only takes one balloon to take another life…are you willing to take that risk?

Not only does it contribute to the death toll of wildlife but these actions also encourage others to do the same. People may see the balloons from miles away and perhaps decide to do the same thing, only adding more trash to the already polluted land and waters.

Think about the impact your balloons will have on other life. From your joy of letting  balloons go – pain, misery, and death will come to any animal that encounters it.
