Recently, I’ve seen news coverage about vigils being held in support of young people who have died. Recently, the young lady was killed crossing railroad tracks.
I believe there is another Vigil for a Young Woman scheduled for Sunday.
The problem is balloon leaks. While they are beautiful and allow everyone to take part, candles and prayers are more respectful of the deceased as well the environment.
Balloons do not go to heaven. They end up in trees, oceans, and other places in nature where they don’t belong. They can become entangled in the legs and beaks, rendering birds incapacitated.
The balloons themselves cannot be biodegradable.
They can be picked up by all kinds of fish, turtles, or even land animals, who mistakenly eat them for food.
