No more ๐๐๐๐ with a change in NC law!
A new bill is making its way through the North Carolina legislature that would ban balloon releases statewide. ๐ซ
That means no more โlet it goโ moments at weddings, memorials, or beach photoshoots. The stateโs not playing, you could face a $250 fine if you organize or take part in a balloon release.โ๐ป
Why? Because those balloons donโt float to heaven, they end up in our trees, our waterways, and the bellies of wildlife that call this place home. ๐๐ข
Coastal counties like Dare and Currituck have been saying it for years, and now the whole stateโs on board:
If you love North Carolina, keep your balloons grounded.โค๏ธ
Maybe light a candle. Plant a tree. Hug your boo twice instead. ๐ฏ๏ธ
