People who let helium balloons go only to have them land in forest and nature preserves are the same as people who throw their fast food containers and empty bottles out of their car windows as they drive down the street. They're doing the same thing. #balloonsblow
Valentine's Day is just around the corner so another reminder that #BalloonsBlow.
Countless animals are killed by consuming the fallen remains of helium balloons and birds and other animals can also be entangled in any attached string.
There are many beautiful alternatives to releasing balloons. Images include writing in sidewalk chalk, blowing bubbles, planting bulbs/trees, and more.
Balloons don't go to heaven, and balloon releases just create deadly garbage. Please find another way to honor your loved one. #balloonsblow
Countless animals are killed by consuming the fallen remains of helium balloons and birds and other animals can also be entangled in any attached string. Always be sure to tether your balloons tightly and to always deflate them before properly disposing.

Please don't release balloons. They can harm birds and wildlife. And the Mylar ones, like these, can cause power outages and could even start a wildfire. #NoBalloonRelease #BalloonsBlow
Hey, congrats and all that. I wish you a long and happy marriage.
However, I'm pretty sure it's 10 years' bad luck if you choke a seal pup with one of these....

Got called a "shithead" on here today for expressing (in a respectful way) my frustration with balloon releases.
Sorry, but grief shouldn't give you a license to litter.

Do NOT let your fucking balloons go!!! This one was retrieved, popped and properly disposed of. #balloonsblow #whatgoesupmustcomedown #giveashitaboutnature
Another balloon release was featured on my local news. This reckless littering is harmful to the environment and deadly to animals. If local TV promotes the event, then it's seen as an acceptable, even appealing, way to remember a lost loved one, but this practice needs to end. #balloonsblow
Last week we ventured out to Pea Island NC. Roy got some awesome photos while I searched the shoreline for trash and treasures! Another Pea Island sunrise.... 🌎🌿

Balloons Blow - Some say, latex balloons are biodegradable and harmless, but that's just a bunch of malarkey! There is nothing green about using wasteful balloons! #balloonsblow

Balloons Blow - They trash the planet, kill animals, and harm humans with latex allergies.
Ditch balloons! Seek alternatives! ❤

Have a heart this Valentine's Day. ❤❤❤
Please - skip balloons!
Balloons end up in a lot of bad places. They pollute the ocean and land. They kill wildlife indefinitely. 💀💔

Tell them to stop the release of balloons as they are litter, kill wildlife and livestock!

How about a nationwide ban on ALL balloons? They serve no good purpose in the 21st Century. Aren't we supposed to do better when we know better? #BalloonsBlow
How about banning ALL balloon releases including latex! They’re marketed and sold as biodegradable but that’s bullshit, they still take 100 years to break down. Ban all balloon releases, it’s just littering! #balloonsblow
