Rejected petition Ban use of Sky Lanterns in the UK

Please debate a UK wide ban of the use of Sky Lanterns ( also known as Chinese Lanterns). They pose a fire hazard to livestock, buildings and crops, and can cause catastrophic damage on dry land. They travel for miles, entangle livestock and wildlife and can kill if the debris is mistaken for food.

More details

Please consider a ban of the use of Sky Lanterns for the whole of the UK.
