Are you living under a rock? Power outages aside…It’s TERRIBLE for the environment to release any kind of balloons into the environment- we are surrounded by water…. where do you think they end up???? Birds and fish eat them and DIE. and they wash up as trash on our shores. Please don’t be so selfish. Actually try and care a little bit about something other than yourselves. Find another way to celebrate without taking out your neighbours power and killing animals and adding to our already terrible trash problem. I say there should be a consequence. Whomever released the balloons pays BELCO back.
