Ban all Balloon releasing in the UK
Closed

What the petition asks
We believe the nation needs to put a ban on balloon releasing because it’s causing so much added litter, ruining our countryside, and injuring/killing our wildlife.
Plastic pollution is a worldwide problem in oceans and the countryside and contributes to harming or killing wild animals. We think we shouldn't be adding to this pollution which causes this damage to wildlife.
There are so many other ways to remember a loved one etc without destroying our planet even more.
