Balloon release, 50 000 ballonger, 6 juni

[longtailrat]

Please stop releasing balloons! They end up in oceans and lakes and pose a great threat to marine life such as turtles, birds and fish!!!!!!!!

It would really suck if they ignited from a smoke or something all that helium kabooom

littering and??????????

[pigsonthewinguk]

Balloon releases are harmful to the environment, to wildlife and to domestic animals, as I outline in an article, "A salutary lesson in the perils of inflation" which you can find by Googling for "birdguides balloon release".

Perhaps the organisers were told that the balloons are biodegradable - but, as my article shows, even biodegradable balloons can last - and do harm - for a year or more.

Gah littering!



[katncandy]

they float up into the stratosphere then make it to mexico where people with shaky video camera skills record it and call them ufo fleets. ;)

[DevilLoonz]

That would have been such an adrenaline rush for me, running along and opening all the balloon nets. would loved to have been there to help blow the balloons up as well.

[maltesuger]

@DevilLoonz take my word for it, is wasn't all that much fun ^^ took us about 4-5h to get helium in all of them and in a few seconds it was over. all you were left with were sore fingers

[UnholyMan122]

oh how I wish i was there with an automatic bb gun...

[wordsofwisdom2009]

+50,000 citations of littering!

[runescapemichbla]

[burrows24]

[RawrSuiyee]

i wonder where all of that ends up..

[SandedFaceless666]

@RawrSuiyee Norway

[GetMutedBro]

@RawrSuiyee There's actually a sky barrier, so once everyone's gone, they take the balloons down, remove the helium, and reuse them next time. ;)

[excarexxbearx]

@RawrSuiyee in our oceans

[Serostern]

@RawrSuiyee Great bird food! =D

[beastboy811]

YA I AGREE!

[latribe]

What a terrible waste of helium! There is starting to be a shortage of helium which comes from natural gas reserves. What a terrible waste of balloons . . . and potential damage to river and marine life. 50,000 . . . wow - 1,000 is bad enough!

[davz00r]

Whiner! :P
