Ban the release of chinese lanterns

What the petition asks
Two chinese lanterns found their way in to my back garden last night and set fire to two trees. The damage could have been worse when I went outside to investigate and was nearly hit in the face with a further lantern, at which point resembled a fireball. These lanterns are also a danger to animals
