STOP PURCHASING AND RELEASING HELIUM BALLOONS!

HELIUM BALLONS GO UP INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND EXPLODE.  THEN FALL INTO OUR WATERWAYS AND POLLUTE THEM BUT WORSE ARE EATEN BY AQUATIC LIFE WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY DIE FROM INGESTING THEM. A DEATH WE CREATE FOR SOLELY SELFISH REASONS.   BALLOONS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE STOMACHS OF MANY AQUATIC CREATURES; DOLPHIN, WHALES, EVEN BIRDS GET TANGLES UP IN BALLOON REMAINS.  THEY REMAIN IN THE ENVIRONMENT FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, AND FOR WHAT? A MOMENT OF JOY TO A CHILD AT A PARADE? OR AS A REMEMBRANCE FOR A DECEASED LOVED ONE?  THERE IS NO HONOR IN ANYONES DEATH THAT CREATES THE DEATH OF ANOTHER, HUMAN OR OTHERWISE! THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WE FACE IN OUR WORLD TODAY BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS - THAT iT'S TIME WE START TAKING CARE OF MOTHER EARTH!
