Never Release a Balloon!!! They Kill Animals!!!
#1
Balloons that are released hurt wildlife. Whether they are on the land or the water, wildlife suffers.

I found a video of sea turtle rescue by responsible young men. They saw the turtle in trouble and they worked to free him from the balloon and save his life.

A little further research gave me this article.

This is a serious problem. I think marine animals are impacted the most because most garbage ends up in the ocean.
Other wildlife suffers too though. Do you really need to release a balloon? Why do you need to release a balloon?

The article lists alternatives to releasing balloons. I like the plant a tree idea. Releasing bubbles is good. Releasing flower seeds that will blow on the wind would be pretty. There are so many good ways to have celebrations. Releasing animal killing balloons is not one of them.
