This practice, while fun and interesting, is actually harmful to the environment. Some balloons make it to the upper atmosphere and drift over the ocean where the sun bleaches them white, they partially deflate and plop into the ocean where they look surprisingly like jelly fish. Dolphins, whales, seals, and sea turtles are often the victims of balloons. The balloons get caught in their digestive systems, which causes them to get sick or even die. It can even prevent a sea turtle from diving under water. The same thing can happen if plastic bags get loose and blow in the ocean.

I haven't tried it. There are so many places that balloons could land where they would not be found that it hardly seems worth the bother.

-----Do you mean balloons filled with helium or hydrogen, to make them lighter than air? ---Jim
