Organize Snacks for the KidsIsnrsquot it time for our kiddos to take a little more responsibility for them-selves and their back-to-school snacks This is a great way for them to pack their own snacks and you can have the peace of mind knowing that they are choosing from healthy snacks that you bought

To make it easier for them organize their snacks in a hanging snack sta-tion Look closely and you will see that the snack organizer is really an over-the-door shoe organizer that found a new purpose Itrsquos got plenty

of see-through pockets that work great for snack organization and storage The kids can reach in and grab the snack they want

Balloons floating across the sky carrying good wishes- a beautiful sight Whatrsquos not so beautiful is the debris they leave behind when they land

Balloons have a destructive effect on an-imals environment and people They can

last years in the environment risking harm to any animal who comes across them Latex balloon are not biodegradable even when mar-keted as such They are not 100 latex made with additives and can last years as hazardous trash Mylarfoil balloons can cause pow-er outages and spark fires They take several years before breaking down Balloons are a waste of Helium a finite resource used in med-ical devices space exploration cryogenics and ventilators among many other uses The price of Helium does not reflect our supply if it did the helium balloon you buy for $350 should cost about $3500 There is no chemical way to manufacture Helium for replacement

The state of New Jersey is currently considering legislation Senate Bill No 3177 to ban the intentional release of a balloon inflated with a gas that is lighter than air (excluding balloons release for scientific or meteorological purposes a hot air balloon or a balloon released and remains indoors) This ban reflects action taken by several NJ State municipalities to prohibit the intentional release of balloons

due to environmental harm the debris causes If passed offend-ers would pay a $50000 fine for a balloon release US Fish and Wildlife Service recovered more than a hundred balloons from a wildlife refuge in New Jersey during a 2015 cleanup operation The balloons were all found on one beachThere is a better way to mark that special occasion Consider the dramatic effect of flags ribbon dancers pinwheels bubbles can-dles Other fun ideas are more engaging put together a drum circle a flock of pink flamingos on a lawn or floating flowers or flower petals on clear water origami make a wildflower seed bomb or paint rocks planting bulbs for spring or a tree

There are many beautiful alternatives to releasing balloons check out Balloonsbloworg for more ideas
