It’s your birthday and you come home to a room full of friends, family, and balloons. People might take some and let them go…
A loved one passes away so everyone in their family let go balloons with a message on them every year….
A student thinks it would be a cool idea to release balloons to get attention for their club….
In the midst of a fair, balloons can just slip out of reach…
A child lets go a balloon to watch it float away…
There are even websites that encourage people to release balloons, misleading any who question the effects it has to the environment. And more and more commercials these days depict balloon releases that only glorify it which may give more people the idea to continue this awful practice; unknowingly causing more death to our natural world.
These are all results of people not knowing about the dangers of balloons. If people knew, then they might tie that balloon extra tight around their child’s wrist, or think twice about all those years of letting them go as a memory or celebration. Why kill more life in remembrance of another?
