Description
i had the pleasure of walking past a woman that works at vacancy busters on state street on my way to work recently while she replaced the balloons they keep tied to the signpost outside their office on state street.
she walked out with new balloons, to replace the day-or so-old balloons, in one hand, and scissors in the other hand, cutting the ribbons to the old balloons to let them fly off into the air.
this may seem like a small thing to some, but a) if they have balloons on their signpost constantly then this littering is an almost daily action, b) balloons are a danger to wildlife that mistake them for food when they end up in the water and c) there is a law against releasing balloons.
i challenged her when i saw this being done, and she smirked and shrugged it off as though she didn't care the slightest bit.
be a better neighbor, vacancy busters!

1. take a photo as evidence and upload it here using the "add an image" icon.
2. call the New Haven police department (203-946-6316) and tell them that you are witnessing a company deliberately littering.

Email Vacancy Busters directly about this behavior to complain.
If you see this again:
1. Take a photo and upload it to this website as evidence.
2. Contact the New Haven PD to complain about a company littering.

I'd be glad to see this resolved. It may seem like a small problem, but it's part of a much, much larger one. http://plasticpollutioncoalition.org/learn/basic-concepts/
These baby albatrosses would agree: 2000 miles from the nearest continent, yet they choke to death on plastic debris - http://www.chrisjordan.com/gallery/midway/#about
Who knows where the Vacancy Busters balloons end up?

And if East Rock, New Haven isn't going to be "green" ----- then we might as well all just give up ......
