No confetti or balloons at the 2020 Democratic National Convention

The Issue

The Democratic National Committee has chosen the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention. In 2016, the DNC marked the close of their convention with a balloon and confetti drop. For over five minutes, 100,000 plastic balloons and streams of confetti dropped from the Wells Fargo Center ceiling while party leaders playfully slapped at them. Spoiler - they still lost the 2016 election. Campaigns last a few months, the plastic in those balloons could wreak havoc in our environment for years. Let's encourage the DNC to walk the walk and forgo this wasteful and excessive celebration and show Republicans that they mean business when it comes to environmental policy, who themselves used 125,000 balloons and over 1,000 pounds of confetti at their convention.
