No one ever requested screens instead of buttons. It’s probably some BS some CEO came up with and forced the engineers to implement.

Sorry for your loss.

You can use bio-degradable balloons but there is no guarantee they will not end up strangling birds or rendering squirrels immobile. Maybe something that could start degrading some hours after you release it? It might end up safely popped midair without ruining the lives of wildlife.

But let me just add: I think you should not do this at all. It’s too risky to do with traditional balloons, and it might be hard to find these “real/verified” biodegradable balloons, plus no guarantee they actually do what the backside says.

No one gave them too much power. They just woke up early and took it before anyone else could.
