    What goes up must come down! Let’s stop the release of helium balloons that are harming or killing marine animals and birds.

    While a few states are taking some steps to act - we need the Australian continent and oceans to be fully protected.

    The Boomerang Alliance has prepared an action plan* calling for:

    • laws to prevent the release of helium balloons
    • governments ensuring compliance with those laws
    • restricting the sale of balloon helium at the retail level to registered balloon industry suppliers
    • requiring professional event managers to educate attendees, stop any releases and ensure correct balloon disposal.

    By signing onto the letter below to your Environment Minister – we can convince all state and territory governments to stop this pollution.
    Please support our call for a nationwide ban on helium balloon releases.
