Laguna Beaches' city council voted to ban the use of balloons beginning in 2024. This comes in an effort to cut down pollution and wildfires.
The Laguna Beach City Council voted Tuesday night to ban in public the popular mainstay of birthday and graduation parties, whether inflated with helium or not. Beginning in 2024, the balloons cannot be used on public property or at city events.
The move in the community of 23,000 people 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles comes as several California beach cities have limited balloons and the state enacted a law to regulate the types made of foil.
"This is the beginning," Chad Nelsen, chief executive of the nonprofit environmental organization Surfrider Foundation, said before the vote.
