What the petition asks
While it is, of course, understandable that people wish to celebrate or mark certain events such as a birthday, promotion, wedding, or death, we know beyond doubt the harm that balloons and lanterns do to wildlife and the environment. There are other, less devastating ways to celebrate and remember.
