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 haven’t seen that in stores or online but also haven’t looked. Should be possible to make i feel with the evolution of bioplastics.

    An alternative is paper lanterns. I’ve seen versions that at least claim they’re safe in that they can’t start a forest fire. With the Chinese New Year coming up they should be easy to find.
