How do you know it was let off and not just an accident?
And the price of them too, gone sky high..
Mainly due to inflation..
Yep.
I very politely left a comment on an event that was happening in my area recently to remember someone, and it was going to be a balloon release, basically saying its a wonderful cause but what about planting a tree or something instead of balloons and I was shot down, called a troll, a nasty cunt, an interfering bitch…. that was fun.
You should really use sulfur hexafluoride filled balloons instead.
They may not be great for the environment, but they should be easier to clean up.
Thou shalt not release helium balloons into the environment.
And those Chinese lanterns cause a lot of problems for the RNLI in coastal areas. they get plagued with calls about distress flares at sea.
Very stupid, and should be illegal. Would it be possible to target the companies who sell them? Put a heavy environmental tax on them or something like that. Especially for large amounts, that are likely to be released on purpose.
Last summer I went fishing out on a boat in Dublin bay. By far the number one piece of rubbish we saw on the sea was balloons like this.
It is such a waste Helium was is a finite resource. MRI machines use Helium using them in balloons so they float is scandalous.
Its also a massive waste of helium which we are globally running out of. Also thanks to the Russian-Ukraine war I think 3 of the 5 Helium plants in the world are either in the war zone or we are not allowed trade with.
Calm down, just pick it up and put it in a bin if ya walk by it
Jesus, I saw the photo and thought it was a pair of knickers and was like, what sort of creep fucker wears those. Then I realised what it actually was!
Was there 100 euro tied to it by any chance?
This and releasing doves. I see the sentiment behind it but it’s wrong.
The sort of person who even buys “Holy Communion” balloons isn’t too fussed about the environment
All for political propaganda. Hilariously pushed by the ESG obsessed.
Some gobshites recently let some off for a cringe gender reveal. It was full to the hilt of confetti…. All over the grass. Did they clean it up? Not a chance! Destroying the environment that those kids have to grow up in
I’d nearly love of an asteroid hit this planet. A great reset is the only thing saving this planet from becoming like the opening sequence of wall-e
I find these miles into the forest on hikes. Metallicized plastic, yum!
I was at one recently and the kid let go of his one by accident and me and my friend were inconsolable because he just went ‘uhhh’ and tried to grab it and his mam was like ‘Ah jimmy for fuck sake’ I mean it’s really on whoever got it for cheaping out on a string and weight
I only let off hydrogen balloons personally
These catholics just want to watch the world burn
Billy’s balloon 🎈
When you release a helium balloon or balloons in this way it is littering in the same way as throwing something on the ground is. People should be fined for littering for doing it. Mass balloon releases should be banned if we are being logical as they can do [significant environmental damage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0CT8zrw6lw).
It’s what Jesus would’ve wanted
It looks like a Crips bandana. The only real Crips is born Crips dawg…
It’s just like in the Bible..
People are spas. Leaving aside the objective merits of this, it’s still just people copying shit they saw on YouTube or whatever.

The world is running out of helium and [here](https://www.npr.org/2019/11/01/775554343/the-world-is-constantly-running-out-of-helium-heres-why-it-matters?t=1656255331513)is why it matters
