I'm not sure if I'm over reacting or not, (over half way pregnant with first baby) so thought I would put it out to the MN jury!

Driving down a busy main road near where I live on Saturday after noon, I noticed a member of staff releasing all the helium filled balloons which were tied up outside a car garage. There must have been about 10 bunches of about 5 balloons which he was cutting and just letting float off into the air! I was Shock

Was it really that much easier than popping them with a pin and putting them in a bin?!

It makes me angry because I just can't help but think of the environmental impact!

Am tempted to write a strongly worded letter to either the garage themselves or head office, AIBU?

Surely they should be popping them and sucking out the helium? Much more fun.

Isn't there a world shortage of helium anyway?
