We use the word balloon to refer to those elements that are normally related to boys and that are nothing more and nothing less than an object made of plastic and filled with air. The term balloon can also be used to designate other elements with shapes similar to that of the children's balloon, for example the globe, the hot air balloon.
Traditionally, balloons are some of the elements that most interest and attract people. kids. This is so since they are always made of many different colors and can even have decorative elements of a very varied type. In addition, being filled with air, the balloons tend to rise in height and therefore move very gracefully in the environment, always calling the attention of the smallest. The great development of globology allows balloons of different sizes, colors, shapes (even some recreating cartoon characters) and special effects to be created.
The balloons are made of plastic but we can also obtain similar results if we assemble them from materials such as light fabrics, silk or paper. These different balloons can be used in some cultures as celebratory and special elements because of their beautiful shapes and colors.
One of the problems with balloons has to do mainly with the environmental damage they can generate. This is so as long as the balloons that are launched into the air and that remain floating for a long time tend to be carried towards the shores of the sea and the ocean Thanks to the force of the wind. Once there, they lose strength and deflate falling into the sea and damaging the fauna wild that mistakes them for food. Furthermore, balloons can also be especially harmful to children if parents do not supervise their use.
