Ban the sale and release of Sky Lanterns / Chinese Lanterns
Sky lanterns are dangerous - they cause fires and are a risk to life. Once back down to earth they litter our land and sea. They are a hazard to wildlife and marine life. Often they are marketed as ‘biodegradable’ which they are not. They take years to rot away causing destruction in the process.

They are littering our farmland and countryside with devastating consequences. Images show animals, birds and marine life caught up in these lanterns.
