I was delighted to read the letter “Why I Stole the Kids’ Balloons …” byTeresa Hagan(3/30) and I thought “here’s someone who thinks like me!” Full credit to Teresa for raising the environmental issue of balloons as litter on land, on sea and in the air. I hope it makes people stop and think – and consider using alternatives to balloons at times of celebration and remembrance.
