    What’s wrong with blowing out good old fashioned candles instead of the entire city grid?

    Not to worry here. Those balloons were incinerated on contact. They were clearly looking out for the environment!

    People need to seriously start getting severe punishments for this shit. Maybe they'll understand after they watch one get removed from a cows intestine. Aside from the littering aspect, they land in farm fields and cows will eat them cuz cows r cute but kinda dumb like that. Then it gets lodged intense digestive tract and can kill them if not removed.

    Someone downvoted you but that’s literally what happens. Sheep and cows can die from this. We had an emergency vet out once because a cow ate a foil birthday balloon

    It should be an offense worthy of receiving a fine. They are on video littering huge amounts of garbage. What goes up, must come down. This is such trashy behavior.

    Nah, it gets rid of litter by floating it out of the environment.

    it does come back down tho, often in rural parts endangering wildlife.

    No, you don't understand. They are floating it outside of the environment. That's what they do when the front falls off balloons
