We are totally in favour of Regulations to sets sky lanterns’ minimum quality standards and we hope that the Code of Practice – Sky lanterns published in 2014, will be fully implemented in UK.
Sky lanterns are not illegal or banned in United Kingdom, Europe, and United States of America or in any other known countries. Anyone over 18 years of age and capable of handling a lighter can responsibly release sky lanterns. The confusion is caused by incomplete information spread by few propagandists who are lobbying a distorted opinion based on incorrect facts and misinterpreted news.
