Environmentally friendly balloons? (lemmy.world)

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.

I also just hate glass. I broke a jar the other day and thought I'd cleaned it up properly, but no. I've been picking nearly invisible pieces of glass out of my foot with tweezers for days. My feet are scratched to shit. Plastic is bad but glass sucks too.

Did you vacuum?

Yes.

Maybe some of the glass launched way further than it seemed and your feet are picking it up from there.
