Aren't balloons bad for the enviroment?
Our latex balloons are made from 100% natural latex, it is not a synthetic plastic. Latex comes from rubber tree. It is collected by cutting the bark and catching the sap (in this case latex) in a cup. Similar to the collection of maple syrup. The trees themselves are not harvested from the rain forest where they grow, there by discouraging deforestation of the rain forest. Harvesting the sap, dose not hurt the tree and 1 tree can produce latex for up to 40 years. Latex balloons biodegrade at approximately the same rate a leaf from an oak tree would decompose in your back yard.
