No more 🎈🎈🎈🎈 with a change in NC law!
A new bill is making its way through the North Carolina legislature that would ban balloon releases statewide. 🚫
That means no more “let it go” moments at weddings, memorials, or beach photoshoots. The state’s not playing, you could face a $250 fine if you organize or take part in a balloon release.✋🏻
Why? Because those balloons don’t float to heaven, they end up in our trees, our waterways, and the bellies of wildlife that call this place home. 🌊🐢
Coastal counties like Dare and Currituck have been saying it for years, and now the whole state’s on board:
If you love North Carolina, keep your balloons grounded.❤️
Maybe light a candle. Plant a tree. Hug your boo twice instead. 🕯️
