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.

Pictured is a collection of some of the balloons we’ve found over the years. Although the Mylar/foil balloons are more visible, there are many more latex balloons in this photo. Most of the balloons we find are latex.

Balloons Blow!
