Support Legislation
Check the map on “The Solution” page to see if there is already legislation banning the intentional release of balloons in your state.
- If yes, then great!
- If not, then start advocating for it. Feel free to use the legislative template and my slideshow (on “About Me” page) to present to Representatives and Senators.
Use Alternatives to Balloons, such as:
- Flying kites (for enjoyment)
- Banners (for celebration)
- Streamers (for celebration)
- Bubbles (for parties)
- Planting trees (for commemoration)
