Happy Birthday to You

Celebrating your birthday, or any other event, in nature is always a fun idea – who doesn’t love a picnic? And there’s nothing more festive and colorful than balloons, which make every celebration that much more special. However, not to be a buzz kill, but balloons are bad for the environment for several reasons, and what we see in this photo is just on of them.

So if you simply can’t have a party without those balloons, the least you could do is pick up the litter when the party is over. This group of people threw a birthday party to their 1-year old son, and decorated the entire area with blue balloons; the only problem is, they couldn’t bother to pick up the mess they’d left behind.
