The Farmers Guardian has started a campaign to ban Sky Lanterns. This follows the recent
large fire in a recycling plant in the West Midlands. This was reported to have been started by a sky lantern. Numerous other incidents are mentioned in the
Farmers Guardian article.
I think Defra has got this is one wrong and that it is time to reconsider the decision not to ban sky lanterns. What do you think?
The Farmers Guardian has established an
e-petition so that you can add your weight to the demand for a ban.
