RE: STEEMIT re-open for new users! Released almost 100 balloons with steemit logo!!
We do not support this trash. A few whales may have upvoted you, but I am here to let you know this:
The world isnt your Steemit Garbage Dump. Now go pick up your balloons off the beach before the local wildlife starts choking on them. I need to see a video of you chasing down these balloons before I flag every future post from you as punishment for being such a trashy idiot.

Do NOT release a hundred latex balloons into the ocean. Its not cute. Its just trash. Literally.

This is not the example we should be setting. I shouldn't have to explain why.
Upvote for visibility. Lets make a stance against this kind of behavior.
Here is the disturbing evidence of a crime against the nature:
Beware, some of these images may be upsetting...
We should NOT be encouraging these crimes:
@chicana needs to donate the bitcoin proceeds from her post to an environmental organization after issuing a public apology.

She better donate that money she made to the right place.

I can understand your concerns but I think you are being a bit harsh. This poster is doing something a lot of people do. If you want to ban balloons then work in politics and raise awareness of the issue or look for a solution. I don't see why @chicana as an individual should be held responsible for the whole world's waste.
I totally agree with you. I think we should all be helping one another get upvotes and make money. I mean, i know thats why I'm here. As for @chicana, I give her props. she's got the entrepreneurial spirit to get out there and run some kind of campaign, to bring more awareness and therefore users to Steemit. Bravo, to her. Like, seriously, I'm sure there were a million environmental disasters that took place throughout our world, in the one day, than "harm" she did from her balloon expo. I get it, littering is bad, but aren't there bigger better problems facing the environment, than a fellow steemer... I guess the publicity gets steemit's name out there either way, and to even more folks than she intended, so I guess it works out ;p
Your logic is to blame for so many world problems. Not really worth debating. Steemers are setting a viral example. I dont think you understand the power (and responsibility) that we have.
@thecryptofiend she's not being held responsible for the world's waste, but her own. If people around the world see this as a highly paid post, what's gonna stop other people from doing it? There needs to be a punishment for this bad behaviour.
I think the same. Harm the enviroment for some upvotes is really bad. I think it's worse than stolen content.
if @dan doesnt think the world is watching closely, he may want to consider the concequences of something like this going viral.
Curation rewards are worth more than the environment!
lol. (puke)
I give thanks for your comment as this is the only thing I kept picturing as I went through this post. Disgusting that people think that it's okay commit these types of acts, even more so to promote anything! Others are commenting saying you're comment is too harsh, that other people commit such and even more heinous acts everyday. To those who disagree with @satanic.stoner, please take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself how it is that you help to heal the world, or at the very least how it is that you have -actually- impacted your environment both locally and globally. Just because one person, or even a thousand people, throw trash out the window does not mean that it is not going to have a detrimental effect upon our host planet's biology.
If you cannot help, at least do not harm.
Bravo. You are a gem.
I love my planet and I try to reduce my footprint as much as possible. I'm #vegan and conscious about water usage and the use of plastic bags too. I condemn this way of making propaganda and profiting on it. This girl might have a good idea but failed to foresee the consequences of her own actions.
Well said.
Você é um idiota politicamente correto, isso sim. E não gosta de mulher bonita.
