Balloons are something I feel strongly about and, as a mum to a 7 year old, it was always the part about her Birthdays I was never comfortable with. This year I bought some from Fair Deal Trading which are FSC certfied and fairly traded rubber. Ok, not perfect, but my conscience was a little easier (and I only let her put 7 up - one for each year of her life - bad mama :D :D) I had never quite equated letting balloons go, the equivalent of dumping 50 leaflets somewhere; thanks for giving me a new way of thinking about things; it was very enlightening. Have a great 'balloon free' weekend :) Mrs Green x I’m applauding you – I think what you did was brilliant and I’m so glad you had a positive response.
