February 20, 2024 The OBAR Board of Directors recently adopted a resolution supporting a ban on the release of helium balloons in NC.
Southern Shores resident Debbie Swick is heading up the campaign and shared information about the detrimental impacts helium balloons have on our fragile coastal environment. Helium balloons can take over 100 years to decompose and have been found littering our beaches and harming sea life.
Please consider using pinwheels as an eye-catching alternative to helium balloons in your real estate marketing. Sign the petition here: Ban the Release of Helium Balloons in NC
