Environmentally-conscious balloon girl

Friday, April 22, 2022


There’s a girl who has a balloon business and regularly rents vans from our U-Haul location on lowest Greenville Avenue in Dallas, Texas. 

Tonight she brought her van back after another day of providing beautiful balloon arrangements for events all around the downtown Dallas area. Such a cute job. A cute girl doing a cute job. 

She was very apologetic tonight because the van was polluted with leftover popped and un-popped balloons. She always returns the vans in immaculate condition (because that’s just the kind of person she is) but this last event didn’t have any place where she could throw her trash away so she used the van. Lol. She asked if we had a broom so she could clean out the van. She insisted really. So I got her a broom and we both cleaned it out. It wasn’t hard. 

Something I learned while we were cleaning is that all the balloons she uses now are biodegradable. Not harmful to the environment in the least. They’re thicker than normal balloons because they’re made from environmentally-friendly material. Too cool!

Helping environmentally-conscious balloon girl clean her van and learning a bit about her passion for balloons was such a sweet way to end my Friday-night shift. 

Peace, love, and balloons. 🎈
