Folks, I find myself repeatedly frustrated with balloon clients all over the country. We all love our parties and balloons are the main decoration to make it so special. The industry is under major threat of being ended in the near future if you ...the consumer keep releasing your balloons outdoors and getting the profession in trouble.
Please be responsible for littering, yes, latex balloons do biodegrade as they are a natural material & they will virtually disintegrate once they hit certain temperatures as they will shatter BUT FOIL (MYLER) balloons are very dangerous electrical conductors when released, the do not biodegrade & will stay around stuck in a power line or a tree until removed. The ribbon is not biodegradable either & can get tangled with wildlife.
As a professional , I love my job but I can see consumers are going to spoil it for everyone if they don't stop releasing balloons outdoors. Please enjoy your fabulous balloons at your parties & at home .....DO NOT RELEASE BALLOONS OUTDOORS FOR ANY REASON.
Every week, TV news items show memorial stories or funerals where family & friends have brought balloons from shops or home workers like myself ...then let them go outdoors.
The media will not attack crisp companies or fizzy pop companies & local pizza/chip shops about their litter which we all see everyday, everywhere ....but we are a "soft target" for the environmentalists as a disposable product. It always boils down to you & your responsibility but it is our livelihood, love & passion that is suffering because of it.
We want to see balloons in every hall, hotel, school & conference centre for many years to come ...it's up to you guys to keep it that way.
