Big Balloon Pledge #BubblesNotBalloons
WHY ARE BALLOONS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Balloons are made either of latex or mylar, sometimes coated with aluminum - and often have a coating of chemicals to help them not stick together.
Biodegradable balloons also can take years to decompose as the latex is mixed with a preservative. In February 2021, the Journal of Hazardous Materials published research that found latex balloons behave like plastic in the environment. After 16 weeks in compost, freshwater, or saltwater, no meaningful degradation was found, and the researchers concluded that in all three environments, balloons would continue to threaten wildlife if ingested.
When balloons burst they look like Jellyfish! And therefore eaten by turtles - in fact of all the plastics found in sea turtles' digestive tracts balloons are BY FAR the biggest amount.
Do watch Carly Wilson’s Rubber Jellyfish Movie. As she says:
The film explores the surprising damage that helium balloons are causing to endangered marine wildlife and unravels the balloon industry greenwashing that has led consumers to believe that latex balloons are 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
EID BUBBLE KIT FOR GIFTING
It's been wonderful, and it's a kit that we really love. This year again, we're sharing it far and wide.
Eid Al-Fitr is a time to celebrate as it marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan fasting from dawn to sunset, as well as spiritual reflection and prayer.
Muslims gather with their friends and family showing gratitude towards Allah. This time serves as a great reminder for Muslims to be grateful for what they have, as well as sharing with those who may be less fortunate.
Gifting is a big part of Eid celebrations, traditionally the gifts are in the form of money or sweet treats and are usually saved for the youngest members of the family.
