Why fine people for littering yet encourage a way of spreading this more damaging litter over a wider area.

Along with this 280(they say) balloons, are thousands from publicity stunts every week. I even picked up one from Poland at the RSPB Dungeness. Please stop this now.

With so much unavoidable environmental damage, it's crazy that we allow something so unnecessary and harmful to continue.

Utter ignorance. Calls to prevent the release were made with plenty of notice to cancel the event. Upon being made aware of the impact this would have both locally and globally, they organisers released a statement to assure us all that they had, in fact, 'responsibly planned' to endanger animals and litter the environment as a suggestion that this made it acceptable and we were all overreacting.
To then announce they were making a donation to a charity to make amends was almost laughable.
They knew what they were doing and what destruction and danger they were causing when they released those balloons as a publicity stunt, yet they still didn't care. It's diabolical.

Well documented evidence that it is injurious to wildlife and marine life in particular, plus creates vast amounts of litter.

Disgusting that this still happens despite the pollution and destruction plastics cause to our ecosystems

I pick up around 50 a month off our beach. No one would throw this directly onto the floor so why is it ok to throw it into the sky?

I was truly appalled that this was actually allowed, a mass act of littering of 1,000 balloons. Not only does it affect our environment but endangers marine, bird and wildlife. I believe the radio statio should be heavily fined. An environmental charity should go to the station and provide an educational piece so that station can learn, set an example and inspire and educate others about the effects of balloons.

I spend a lot of time on the beaches of North Wales and frequently see remains of balloons andthe plastic ribbons that they are attached to. Its easy to see how they can cause such devistation to marine wildlife. Balloons are wasteful and there are alternative that are just as fun and meaningful. In an age where we are trying to reduce the use of plastic bags and plastic bottles, banning mass balloon releases is surely the right thing to do! Lets look after our planet and all life on it - we only have one chance!

Great cause ! Time to stop damaging practices. There are plenty of ways to commemorate those lost - this is in no way aimed at anyone who has lost a loved one that was celebrated by Radio City. It is firmly aimed at any group that chooses to release environmentally damaging material unnecessarily.

The planet is slowly choking to death on dumped plastic waste. We need to take more responsibility for the harm we are doing.
