Numerous comments have flooded in from concerned individuals expressing their thoughts on the matter.

“There’s no reason to release those balloons,” commented a Reddit user. “Or any balloons anywhere for celebration. They don't go to heaven and no one wants your litter landing in their backyard or getting tangled in wildlife. Please stop this,” joined another. “I work at a power company. Stop doing this,” added a third. “Releasing balloons should be banned. It doesn’t do any good for anyone,” suggested a fourth. “I hope she feels embarrassed. The kind of embarrassment that keeps you up at night in ten years” wrote a fifth.
