Council considers ban on foil balloon releases in New Orleans. Here's how it would work.
Balloons are released at a park on America Street during the vigil for the 3 children who were killed in a 2-alarm fire in the Plum Orchard neighborhood in New Orleans, Friday, Oct. 20, 2023. A proposed ordinance could ban the release of Mylar balloons in New Orleans. (Photo by Sophia Germer, The Times-Picayune)
