Trendy bans on plastic straws are mostly bunk
Presenting, balloons, the new straws. There is a new movement afoot to restrict or ban plastic balloons. I hope the water protectors, fresh off their victory against using water from a place that receives 150 inches of rain a year, have geared up and are ready for their new role as air protectors, no doubt driving to protests in large 8 mpg pickup trucks:
Helium-filled latex balloons have drawn increased attention because of the potential dangers they can cause to the environment. Some states are working to limit how many are released, while others wish to ban balloons altogether.

Or should I say restrict or ban deadly plastic balloons?
The new documentary titled Balloonfest ’86 documents the tragic aftermath of another record-seeking balloon stunt in Ohio. In a 1986 fundraising ploy, United Way released 1.5 million balloons, causing traffic jams, airport delays, and even two deaths.
