I am not aware of any law that would prevent you from ‘releasing air’. But, depending upon the temperment of the police & DNR, I would encourage everyone not to litter

Thanks, I agree. The balloons should not be left on the ground; they are souvenirs for people to keep and re-use.

If a balloon should happen to burst, the rubber pieces decompose in sunlight as quickly as an oak leaf would.

But - do you think people can understand this: dumping the substance (CO2) that is threatened today with a new tax is similar to the early Patriots dumping the tea that was being taxed ?

Dunno. Depends on the group.
