S1E17: Mylar Balloons: threat or menace? plus Joshua Tree NP AMA
from 90 Miles from Needles: the Desert Protection Podcast · host Chris Clarke
Alicia takes on one of her personal bugbears: the endless supply of mylar balloons landing in the desert, choking wildlife and starting fires, just because people don't care what happens to their floating trash. Also, we subject Joshua Tree National Park superintendent David Smith to the Reddit Ask Me Anything treatment. Episode image, which is kinda on the nose if you ask us, via our pal Cyndi T. in Tucson.
