Connecticut Committee Hears Opposition to Proposed Helium Balloon Ban
The Environment Committee of the State of Connecticut held a hearing to understand the opposition’s view to its proposed helium ban. One of the reasons set out by the opposition was that the ban is unfairly targeting small businesses and consumers instead of addressing littering behaviour and that helium balloons released in another state could also potentially deflate and fall in Connecticut. There have been several such bans in the US in the past.
