We walk the beach often and I am amazed by the number of Mylar balloons and the strings attached to them. I was wondering if there was any proposed action to stop allowing people to release the balloons.

Where are these balloons coming from? Across the lake? Are they going out from these shores and coming back in? If we had some locations we could perhaps write the local press or notify the local shops.<br />BeachBumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996810379505168354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269017532856044856.post-21424953963468060092012-03-18T17:06:08.957-07:002012-03-18T17:06:08.957-07:00Thanks for writing this.

Kids today have the "reduse reuse recycle" but the message NOT TO LITTER is not there. There is trash everywhere on school grounds, highways, beaches etc. I sure wish we could get that public service announcements going again that could encourage clean up and keep clean America. Maybe Michigan would be a great place to start.D'Lynn Smithhttp://www.foundationsofcare.comnoreply@blogger.com
