My sister, a school teacher in Illinois, called to ask my advice on balloon
release. I remember reading that the balloons eventually come back to earth
and that turtles and other creatures eat them and get sick. These are
supposed to be "biodegradable" balloons.
Has anyone any ideas on this?
Thanks,
