So, if balloons in the environment are so bad, why isn\'t releasing them outlawed? Well, in many areas, it is. And a few places in the UK and Australia have banned the release of balloons of all kinds. In the US, California, Connecticut, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia and some cities like Louisville, Kentucky, and Huntsville, Alabama have put the kibosh on balloon releases. But the thing about helium balloons is they don\'t care about our random geographic boundaries. They land wherever they want to land.
既然停留在环境中的气球有这么多危害，为什么放飞它们不是违法的呢？其

实在许多地方，放飞气球都是违法的。英国和澳大利亚的一些地方已经禁止各种气球的释放。在美国，加利福尼亚州、康涅狄格州、佛罗里达州、田纳西州和弗吉尼亚州，还有肯塔基州的路易斯维尔和阿拉巴马州的亨茨维尔等城市，都已经禁止放飞气球。但是氦气球的问题在于，它们才不管人类划定的地理边界。它们想在哪里降落，就在哪里降落。
Hundreds of balloons drifting slowly into the wild blue yonder might give you the feels, but is a brief display of color and zero confetti cleanup at your party worth a bunch of dead birds and turtles and many beaches full of trash? Absolutely not. But, on a related note, the world may be running out of helium soon anyway — giving the turtles and the birds a reason to throw their own great big party, sans balloons.
看着数以百计的气球慢慢地飘向远处的蓝色天空可能会让你心潮澎湃，然而只是为了欣赏一次转瞬即逝的多彩美景，或者为了不必清理派对留下的五彩纸屑，你就要让一群鸟儿和乌龟用生命来买单，让一片片沙滩堆满垃圾。这值得吗？当然不值得。而且，再这样下去，这个世界可能很快就会耗尽氦气——这反倒让海龟和鸟儿有理由开个大派对来庆祝，没有气球的那种。 最后，不要错过一个重要的事实：
Helium balloons can interfere with airplanes. In Singapore, you have to get permission from a government aviation regulation agency in order to release balloons.
氦气球会干扰到飞机。在新加坡，你必须得到政府航空管制署的许可才能放飞气球。

你以为你放飞的是心情，但是放出的却是“杀生”利器。转瞬即逝的美却要付出永恒的代价。 ==
