🚫🎈balloons blow ⋮ don’t let them go Since 2018, my family has picked 1,121 balloons out of the Pacific Ocean - and we don’t go out often. I appreciate the frustration & disgust when I share the balloons & trash we pick out of the ocean, but your support means noting until you STOP BUYING BALLOONS. Balloons are: ▪︎ a waste of Helium - a finite resource ▪︎ the cause of unnecessary wildlife (land + water) deaths ▪︎ a major cause of power outages ▪︎ a decoration that always turns into an annoyance Many of you roll your eyes or swear you won’t let a balloon go, but it’s not about letting them go - it’s about not buying them at all. ✨balloonsblow is a great resource Alternative decorations & ways to celebrate life: • flowers or planting a tree • bunting, banners, streamers • pinwheels, tissue pom poms Please stop rolling your eyes. Please stop fake supporting. This isn’t about me, it’s about our planet, and it’s a mess. #whalewatching #earth #ourbluemess #natgeoyourshot ...
