Answer 2

I doubt that the public shall be very impressed; it seems a very unusual technique to rejoice the anniversary of a little one's disappearance. Releasing chinese language lanterns is environmentally irresponsible; when their paper and wire remnants land in fields they pose a risk to cattle.
