One of the many tasks for this weeks class is to sign an e-petition. As I'm apathetic on most issues today it was tough to find an issue that I felt strongly enough to give my good name to.... However fear not, I still found something. You'll find the link to the e-petition and description below...
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland
citizens draws to the attention of the House to the unnecessary
releasing of helium balloons in Queensland. Balloons are a common source
of litter found in waterways. The balloons can cause serious harm to
marine and wildlife, which is why they are banned in New South Wales.
Your
petitioners, therefore, request the House to ban the release of helium
balloons in Queensland, with an appropriate penalty for deliberately
doing so.
