Hi Lemmy,

I’m organising a funeral, and one of the ideas that has come up is for people to write memories on a balloon and let them go. However, I’ve also heard that they often end up in trees etc and are terrible for the environment.

Is there such a thing as environmentally safe balloons? Other suggestions are also welcome.

    If you need balloons, latex is probably the way to go, natural material that should be fine to release.

      Keep in mind some things labeled latex are made of synethic materials and therefore don’t decompose.
