Let's pop the bubble on balloon releases!

Balloon releases are a popular way to celebrate special occasions, but did you know that they are harmful to the environment?

When balloons are released, they can travel long distances and end up in our oceans and waterways. This can pose a serious threat to marine life, which can mistake balloons for food and eat them. Balloons can also become entangled in animals, causing them injury or death.

In addition, balloons are made of plastic, which is a non-biodegradable material. This means that balloons can take hundreds of years to decompose, releasing harmful chemicals into the environment along the way.

So what can we do instead of releasing balloons?

There are many creative and environmentally friendly ways to celebrate. Here are a few ideas:

Plant a tree or flower in honor of your loved one.
Donate to a charity in their name.
Release bubbles or biodegradable balloons instead of latex balloons.
Have a picnic or potluck with friends and family.
Create a memory board or photo album to commemorate the occasion.
By choosing to celebrate in a sustainable way, we can help to protect our planet and its wildlife for future generations.
