enough for about 3 miles
every car should have one
Something to think about
If you try this at home, wait for a day that isn’t windy, honest.

Believe me, as a wildlife rehabilitator I see the damage caused to creatures by stupid antics all the time and it never fails to amaze me.
I went on the climate march and was pissed off to see helium balloons there too.

The release of CO2 and NO2 from irresponsible use of dirty great cars is also a bit of a problem for wildlife among other things. The balloons were a prop aimed to drive home the connection between what we see on the news and what we do. They provide a way of waving a quantity of invisible, odourless gas in front of people’s faces.
I admit that using balloons and flyers creates an environmental problem and is therefore morally wrong but inaction in the face of global warming is surely worse. Use of resources is our time’s ethical dilemma.
