Rejected petition Ban letting off hellium balloons into the sky.

We wouldn’t let off aload of plastic bottles into the sky so why do we allow hellium balloons? With all the issues of plastic waste polluting the sea this is only adding to the problem. It is harming wildlife both in the sky and sea. They are dangerous for air traffic also.
