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.

    If you mean the floating lanterns they’re usually made with wire and are a hazard to wildlife and domestic animals, as well as creating litter.

      They may be made entirely of wood and paper, but as pointed out, fire hazard is still a thing
