Hi Lemmy,
I’m organising a funeral, and one of the ideas that has come up is for people to write memories on a balloon and let them go. However, I’ve also heard that they often end up in trees etc and are terrible for the environment.
Is there such a thing as environmentally safe balloons? Other suggestions are also welcome.
It’s not magical thinking at all, ceremonies like that provide genuine feelings of relief and catharsis for participants.
Sorry I missed the funeral part earlier.
I still don’t think balloons or fire lanterns are in any way responsible.
Paper boats are generally ok as they breakdown pretty quickly.
