Clemson to stop balloon releases

Anything to change the narrative from the current news cycle. I guess they are waiting for Sunshine to get caught with a bale of cocaine before renaming Tillman Hall.
About time. Supposedly they were finding peices of the “biodegradable balloons” across the southeast. Captain Planet will be pleased with this decision.
I applaud Clemson on this decision to stop polluting our environment
So, all this time, Boulware was only checking to see if one of their opponents had swallowed one by mistake? What a peach of a guy, he is!
Sunshine played at Carolina (Ron Bass). Please stop being idiotic & calling their freshman QB that.
Good decision. They should be banned everywhere along with plastic bottles.
I read in an article about this that PETA was also after us about our entrance. Anyone know what they have a problem with?
I second this. Y’all have to stop that BS.
Wouldn't they need to tear down the school to accomplish that?
And plastic straws. I keep a supply of paper straws in my car so I don't have to use the plastic ones they give out.
Yep i keep paper straws handy so i can drink comfortably from a disposable styrofoam cup
Plastic straws are NOT the problem. You guys are reacting to a fact fabricated by a nine year old.
What uniform combo did he play in his first college game ?
Amen Davidusc,. We are not the problem. The rest of the world is. We can get rid of all plastic in the U. S. And not affect the worlds plastic dumping but 5 percent. Bit I do support any effort to reduce pollution no matter how small.
Some of those countries have already enacted laws to ban not some but ALL plastic by 2020. You are wrong that it is a fabrication that straws are a problem. I don't use them at all.

Everything that isn't biodegradable contributes to the problem; it certainly isn't unique to us, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything.
The rest of the world? We're the only first-world country on that list. And if you think plastics aren't a problem, Google microplastics and water. You're sucking down plastic with every gulp. Good and good for you.
Anything that takes less than 100 years to biodegrade can be labeled as biodegradable can’t it?
I always heard that a lot of those balloons would end up on Danny Fords large farm, and his farm would have to clean up LOL, but I guess now that wont happen and his Hemp field will not be disturbed.
The definition doesn't give a time frame. I would think if a fish or turtle ate something biodegradable, it would degrade much more quickly than in the environment and likely not kill them. The video of the birds full of plastic is something I can't get out of my head.

Not a record to be proud of, they littered 363,729 times on November 12th 1983, now that should call for the death penalty
I'm a Clemson grad. The balloons needed to go. The funny part is all the pro-balloon snowflakes calling everybody else snowflakes. They're balloons. Dial it down.
Dial it down? Come on this is a Gamecock board, this a place where poking at Clemson is allowed and encouraged
My comment was directed at pro-balloon snowflakes, not USC fans who can and should take every opportunity to poke fun at a hated rival. I know my place.

Don’t we ship most of our “recyclables “ to China? Bet we are a big part of their number in that data
