Ban the sale and release of sky Lanterns & Balloons

What the petition asks
Totally ban the sales and release of these products. Some local councils are taking action to tackle this but many people still let them off from their back gardens. Releasing these items causes harm to the environment, domestic animals, wildlife and farm stock.
Common sense does not seem to work so the best thing to do is place an outright ban on these products.
