Balloons are a wasteful, single-use product that quickly become trash. It is irresponsible for organizations and companies to use helium-filled balloons as promotional products or fundraising, as they have such a high probability of ending up as flyaway litter.
Companies and organizations who have had their balloons found polluting and risking harm to animals and the environment end up on the Wall of Shame. They are removed when they ditch the trashy balloons!
