The Harmful Consequences of Balloon Releases: A Woman's Eye-Opening Experience.

A woman on TikTok has urged people to stop releasing balloons into the sky, as they can cause harm to animals and the environment. Jess, who owns a farm in Texas, has found tattered balloons caught in her fences, putting her animals in danger of choking. Balloons Blow, a nonprofit organization, warns that all released balloons, including those marketed as "biodegradable latex," return to Earth as litter and can kill countless animals. The organization recommends alternative ways to honor loved ones, such as planting a memorial garden or hosting a food or clothing drive.
