The essence of centuries-old Valentine's Day has been hijacked by consumerism. Special thanks to the producers, marketers, and promotors of the one-time use FOIL BALLOONS!
Foil balloons are made with metalized nylon and a mix of other products that are not biodegradable. Tons of red and pink single-use balloons and other plastic products are marketed, sold, and then DUMPED into the oceans during Valentine's week. Each year, the day of love aka Valentine's Day comes and goes without a pint of love for the planet.
The Party Company is specifically warning-worthy for randomly throwing the term "eco-friendly' here and there on their website while running paid ads for Foil Balloons only and NO MENTION OF 'ECO-FRIENDLY' ALTERNATIVES!

Very disheartening and a great eye-opener. Lots of climate change awareness required.
