From: "Special Characters" <singvalentine@hotmail.com> To: balloondeco@balloonhq.com Subject: balloons & the enviroment Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 13:52:42 PDT Hello everyone- I just received a free copy of Ranger Rick Mag. in the mail, and was reading the "Dear Ranger Rick," page, and got really upset. There was obviously a very derogatory article about "balloon launches," I found a link ( http://www.epa.state.oh.us/dsiwm/facts/plan/balloon.html )to what the National Wildlife Federation is promoting. I will send a hard copy of these kids' letters about how terrible balloon launches are and the original RR article, whenever I can find it, to whoever can scan them in at BHQ, if you want. Is there any way we as an industry can respond to this bad PR? Is there a member of the balloon council on the list that can make an official response? Learn how to make money when people party!
