red balloon is better lost in the woods than at sea

thx 4 invite to balloons r fun group.

 

Also plz note that balloons can be problematic when you release them near the coastline as whales and sea turtles mistake them for portuguese man o war, which they eat. So balloons kill whales and sea turtles because they become obstructions in their intestines.

 

Also, as a hiker and a lover of woods and forests and deserts and mountains, I find deflated balloons in the most remote places. They are like self-dispersing litter, ending up as icky trash in the most beautiful remote places. It's kind of sad. So please enjoy your balloons, which are fun and jolly, but don't let them go because they can be, at best, litter, or at worst, deadly to some pretty fantastic animals that are already dealing with all kinds of environmental stresses.
