WHAT’S NEXT? Forget Straws, Liberal Politicians Set Their Sights On BANNING BALLOONS

According to the Associated Press, left-leaning lawmakers and climate change advocates are hoping to crackdown on the prevalence of plastic balloons at birthday parties, store openings, and other events featuring the potential pollutants.

“The joyous celebration of releasing balloons into the air has long bothered environmentalists, who say the pieces that fall back to earth can be deadly to seabirds and turtles that eat them.
