Say NO! to Balloon Releases!!

Considering a Balloon Release? Think Again.

While balloon releases may seem beautiful and meaningful, there are better alternatives. Here’s why you should reconsider:

1. Environmental Impact: Balloons are single-use items that contribute to pollution. When released, they eventually end up in bodies of water or littered landscapes, posing serious risks to wildlife.

2. Misleading Sentiment: The idea of balloons floating to heaven is touching, but the reality is far less romantic. Popped balloons don’t disappear; they become trash.

3. Safety Concerns: Although some latex balloons are marketed as biodegradable, the attached ribbons are not. These can choke animals and pose risks to children.

I understand the desire to celebrate a loved one—it's a heartfelt sentiment. However, there are many creative ways to honor their memory without releasing trash into the environment. Consider alternatives like air-filled designs or tethered helium balloons that create the same uplifting effect without the negative impact.

Let’s celebrate responsibly. Choose alternatives to balloon releases and protect our planet.
