thousands?
many many thousands?
on the other hand, probably balloons are far down on the list of impacts to wildlife, probably more aesthetic than anything else
interesting there's a website about this
yeah, I thought latex would eventually degrade but takes a long time
we need to develop plastic that degrades better

No kidding. In fact, I'd say the only reason
most of these were still out there was because they
weren't on trails.

Looks like we'll be getting fewer balloons
traveling from Tempe, AZ.
