Last week I spent many hours hiking and fishing the outer beaches of Cape Cod
As on any beach there was a large collection of flotsam and jetsam.
The number one item seemed to be plastic bottles, both water and sports drink.
The second item was even more disturbing.

Mylar helium ballons.

These things seemed to be everywhere. Some in large clumps with miles of ribbon. This stuff was tangled up in seaweed and driftwood everwhere you looked. I don't imagine this does the birds, fish, and other wildlife any good.

People ought to know by now not to throw their garbage out the car window or over the side of a boat.
What they may not realize is that every time one of these "pretty" bouquets of ballons are released it is nothing more than another form of liter. Plastic liter that will not go away.
