Biodegradable... Sort Of
The balloons were technically biodegradable, but that didn't make clean-up much easier. It took several months for the balloons to break down. A man from Ontario, Canada complained about the environmental nuisance, stating, "These balloons, being made of plastic, are not readily biodegradable and, thus, will create an eyesore for some time to come, or else be an unnecessary and time-consuming expense for someone to clean up."
