It can be for a graduation celebration, a way to honor a loved one, or just a way to make a birthday wish; however some are urging people to think twice about organizing balloon releases.
Over the course of roughly the past week, News 5 has covered at least three events that involved balloon releases. And as the weather gets warmer, those with FirstEnergy told News 5 they’ll see more events like these popping up and that can mean more power outages.
“Many people just don’t realize that releasing them outdoors can cause significant damage to our power infrastructure,” Lauren Siburkis with FirstEnergy said. And from an environmental standpoint, those at local animal rehab facilities told News 5 it can be very difficult, if not impossible to save an animal such as a bird when it eats a balloon or gets tied up in it.
Between 2016 and 2018, more than 18,000 balloons or balloon pieces were collected during alliance of the Great Lakes beach clean-up events.
