Episode 248: The Ban on Mass Balloon Release in Louisiana

from Louisiana Insider · host Louisiana Life Magazine

In Louisiana, conservation and protecting our wildlife and farming communities has always been at the forefront, safeguarding our way of life and the environment around it. With this in mind, House Bill 851, Act 196 was recently passed in Baton Rouge as a way to protect our environment locally from mass balloon release - a simple act that many may not even realize the impact it could make on the community. Louisiana Wildlife Federation Executive Director Rebecca Triche joins us to discuss the bill and talk about some alternatives that can pack the same emotional punch without the threat to our state.
