Marevivo calls for a stop to the broadcast of images of the flight of balloons on TV

«Even yesterday, despite repeated appeals to the Catholic Church, to the Municipalities, to the State to prohibit the flying of balloons, because they are harmful to animals and the environment, during a sad and painful event, hundreds of white balloons soared . They weren't doves, but plastic."

«Even yesterday, despite repeated appeals to the Catholic Church, to the Municipalities, to the State to prohibit the flying of balloons, because they are harmful to animals and the environment, during a sad and painful event, hundreds of white balloons soared . They weren't doves, but plastic."

«The gesture, apparently exciting, but in reality very harmful for our future, was covered by all television, exalting it as a symbol of upward prayer.
It is absurd and contradictory that, at the same time, on the same news, the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, declared at the climate summit in Nairobi:
“Our planet has just endured a boiling season: the hottest summer ever recorded.
Climate collapse has begun."
Terrible words that must not only make us reflect but force us to act quickly!
Plastic is in the seas and in the human body, it is present in the blood, in the placenta of women, in breast milk, in seminal fluid: it is now part of this alteration of the balance of ecosystems that we are witnessing and which is one of the causes of ongoing climate changes.
The ecological transition that is urged by the greatest researchers in the world remains at the level of good intentions.
These are just words, while the process of climate transformation continues at an unexpected speed.
Some actions we cannot stop, but we can and must stop the flight of balloons .
Having not been successful with all the appeals made in these ten years, we turn today to the television stations and journalists.
At least you don't resume or glorify this practice, an apparently harmless gesture, but which is added to many others and which contributes to leading us towards the sixth mass extinction, to which our species is condemned.
We hope that those who disseminate cultural information will listen to our appeal. Marevivo asks stop the transmission of images with the flight of balloons". (Marevivo Onlus)
