Signing this petition will help to pass the bill of banning the intentional release of balloons in Suffolk county. At the spring beach cleanup and survey, 195 balloon debris items were found over the mile of beach surveyed. During a November survey, 309 balloon debris pieces over the same mile of beach were found and picked up. In November, those 309 balloon debris items made up just over 15% of the total debris collected that day. Every signature on this petition will help make change. The amount of signatures could be presented as evidence in an East Hampton town board meeting. If there is a sufficient amount of signatures the town of East Hampton is very likely to make change. It takes just a few clicks from each and every one of you to make a lot of change.
