Petition Ban the sale of water balloons

These things need to be banned, they are on sale everywhere, in shops and on the internet. Just when we are trying to reduce plastic, damage to wildlife and the environment. I expect most of them will end up in the rivers or in the sea and on the beaches.

More details

I found a huge amount scattered on the bank of our local river, seen as a fun thing for the summer. Not for the environment or the wildlife, just when we are trying to reduce this type of thing.
