Have you ever thought about where all the balloons end up after they're released? 🎈 Released balloons often end up littering waterways in Canada and around the world, negatively impacting wildlife and adding to pollution. Sign the petition below to urge Parliament to ban balloons! This petition closes on July 17!

Looking for alternatives to balloons? Check out this website: https://greenecofriend.co.uk/eco-friendly-alternatives-to-balloons/

This Parliamentary e-petition was penned by a young adult, Sydney Morgan from Chelmsford, Ontario. Did you know more than 18,000 balloon pieces were found in the Great Lakes between 2016 and 2018? Sign the petition here:
