jayne67 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 hi anyone know where i can get my own balloons blown up with hellium cheap. Birthdays are £1 a balloon then the price of the balloon. anywhere cheaper????????????[/quote  The trouble is, if the balloons you have are not helium quality then they will either burst, or not fly as well as they shoud. I, personally would not inflate 'own' bought balloons because I would be responsible for poor quality, where I would not only have to bare the cost of the broken balloon, but the cost of the wasted helium as well.  If you really want to DIY, then the disposable canisters are ideal.  If you want a quality balloon, that will fly for approximately 18 hours, then expect to pay about 90p per balloon.  Jayne Daisychain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceeferman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The helium depletion problems highlighted in the link provided here by Mr. Doctor, represent a serious threat to society, but the article fails to mention the fact that these balloons escape or are released and frequently can be seen littering our countryside and woodland. Worse still, those that reach the sea are mistaken for jellyfish resulting in the death of turtles which are an endangered species. This is a high price to pay when there are many alternative ways of letting children have a little fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a high price to pay when there are many alternative ways of letting children have a little fun. Â Actually, this is not true. Â Balloons that are helium inflated fly that high that the process is this...they start to oxidise, than become so brittle, they break into thousdands of tiny pieces. They pieces are that small, that they fall to the ground unnoticed. The breakdown time of a latex balloon takes about the same time as an oak leaf. Â There is also no proof, despite the persistance of environmental groups, that they pose any danger to turtles, or any other wildlife. This is pure specuation and there has never been any scientific study on how turtles think about, or perceive food. In fact, there have been studies, where turtles were deliberately fed pieces of latex balloons, and in all cases, the ingested balloon was passed naturally by the turtles. Â A latex balloon is an outstanding example of an environmentally responsible product. Not only is is biodegradable, but latex production requires the continuance of a vast rain forest and thriving trees. Unlike the process for manufacturing paper products, where trees are cut down and harvested, latex is derived by harveting the sap from the rubber tree. Â Enjoy your party!
