Speedway, Indiana
39,000 rubber latex deathtraps will probably be tossed into the atmosphere throughout spring migration from the middle of the US. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway plans to proceed their damaging balloon launch custom throughout their pre-race celebration of the Indy 500.
For 72 years this environmental vandalism has continued regardless of a long time of public disapproval. Balloon releases waste finite Helium & wreak havoc on land & sea because the latex remnants fall as air pollution & threaten animals who devour the colourful trash. It’s time for this willful mass littering to finish.
Please be a part of us in urging IMS to behave responsibly & halt the balloon releases. Collectively, we are going to make these damaging balloon releases a factor of the previous!
