Incidental article about Macys Thanksgiving parade baloons are filled with Helium https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2019/11/27/macys-than...

At the end the gas is released, not recycled.




I think recreational use of helium ought to be banned. It’s a rare gas that once gone is gone from the atmosphere. It’s likely that our great great grandchildren won’t have it left for other uses.

Well it’s also likely that they really won’t have a habitable planet too.

But we gotta start somewhere right ?
