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.
rent a wall and provide cans of spray paint for people to leave inspiring tags.
then hire a company to clean the wall in a few days.
Alternative: plantable wildflower seed cards you can write on and then plant and grow flowers
This is a great suggestion, thank you :)
There’s already a couple great suggestions offered here as alternatives to the harmful balloon idea. I just want to say thank you to OP for being thoughtful enough to ask the question in the first place. The world needs more people like you.
Sorry for your loss
Another thing that I’m not seeing people mention is helium balloons wandering to places like power substations and/or power lines, causing outages or even fires/explosions depending.
I liked what someone else said about writing thoughts or stories and having them read anonymously.
