Imagine Planet

Balloons don’t "float away"—they fall back to Earth as toxic confetti.
THE REALITY: → Latex is NOT "biodegradable" in the time it takes for an animal to eat it. → Balloons are the #1 cause of plastic-related death for seabirds. → Strings cause strangulation and entanglement for land wildlife. → They frequently land in protected marine sanctuaries.
THE LAW: → Increasingly banned in cities across CA, FL, and NJ. → Laws are shifting toward "balloon litter" classification.
BETTER WAYS TO HONOR/CELEBRATE: → Planting a memorial tree. → Releasing bubbles (biodegradable). → Planting native wildflowers. → Floating flower petals in a controlled container.
Choose a legacy that sustains life, not one that litters it.

Bleach and bath towels are urgently needed at the shelter!!
