Hi i'm a volunteer for niall mellon, i think the balloon relaese was brilliant. did you get someone to do the balloons for you or how did you hold them all together.
Yes,the balloons we used are biodegradable latex, and the labels are just ordinary paper. Both will have disappeared within 6 months at the very latest. The balloons burst at high altitude & shatter in small fragments. The biggest section left is around the knot at the end and even that will show signs of "shredding". This event raised about €3000 to rehome people in South Africa so I think it was worth the temporary pollution caused by the balloons and labels.
