What the petition asks

Balloons used for marketing often have ribbon tied to them.This is a fatal combination for wildlife.The balloon chokes and the string wraps around the wildlife, killing or maiming.There are better alternatives, like plastic free bunting.Children would not want the balloon if they knew it could kill
