I've signed a petition showing my support for a total ban of sky lanterns in England and Wales.

Our very own Stacey featuring Flo spreading the word on the dangers of fire lanterns not only to the tinder dry environment but to animals too.

If you have a spare few minutes to spread some kindness to the environment please head over to the NFU site and sign the petition to ban these lanterns. Please find the link in the comments.

Please like and share the more people reached the more awareness is spread and the more signatures gained.

Watch the latest from ITV News - Despite a period of hot weather leaving land dry, farmers tell ITV Calendar they still regularly see lanterns landing on their fields.

Following on from my Lantern post I just want to say that I wrote the post to make people aware how dangerous the lanterns are. Whoever lit the lanterns did not intentionally light them to cause any harm they were lit to send a message to their loved ones. In a world where we can and should aspire to be anything, anything at all… we should all aspire to ‘Be Kind’

I never thought about how many people the lantern post would reach but I hope this post reaches as many if not more of you.
