People often think it’s fun to intentionally release balloons into the sky, thinking it looks pretty and celebratory. But the truth is that wayward balloons are deadly for animals and horrible for the environment.
After these stretchy pieces of plastic return to the Earth or the seas, unsuspecting animals often mistake it for food, stuffing themselves with these toxic chemical-based products. Their bodies can’t break down the material, leaving it stuck inside them forever. Even worse: balloons fill up animals’ stomachs, making them think they’ve eaten enough… so they starve to death.
Please sign this petition to demand that Florida state legislators ban people from intentionally releasing balloons outside!
