At special events, many enjoy releasing balloons and watching them float high into the sky. But did you know there are actually quite a few environmental risks involved with doing so? A Sign of Peace White Doves Release in Erlanger, KY, is here to tell you that by choosing to release white doves rather than balloons, you can make your event more environmentally sound while still choosing a sophisticated way to celebrate. Here are three environmentally-conscious reasons to choose a white dove release over letting balloons fly into the sky at your celebration. 

Balloons Pollute Nature

Although balloons may appear to be relatively harmless, you never know where they might end up when they’re released. Many balloons are non-biodegradable, meaning they’ll likely remain where they land for many years to come. If you’re having a wedding or event in an area with abundant plant and wildlife, this could mean polluting some of the most pristine areas of nature. This is especially true of balloons released during a beach event or at an outdoor nature preserve. Doves, on the other hand, provide an even more beautiful experience and return home without causing any unnatural harm to their surroundings. 

Balloons Can Harm Animals

When those balloons are released and eventually deflated, they become a real danger for animals. Releasing doves into the air is an alternative that will do no harm to the doves used in the process or to the animals in the area of the event.  

Balloons Take Years to Break Down 

Many justify the release of balloons because there are companies nowadays manufacturing biodegradable ones. However, such balloons still take several years to decompose, meaning that plenty of terrestrial and aquatic animals have a chance to come into contact with them. For this reason, many have begun using sustainable items during their celebrations, such as paper flags, ribbons, plants, and of course, white doves. 

If you want to make your special event one of inspired beauty while still doing your part to protect the plants and animals in your area, a white dove release can be just the thing.
