I just read this post “Balloning marvelous or noisy attention seeking” from Chris Hoskin where he writes how Members of BUND (German Friends of the Earth) put the balloons on the exhaust pipes of cars to highlight problems with CO2 emissions.
Why not to push this idea further and put massive balloons on industrial smokepipes? The huge balloon would be filled with hot smoke and released to float in the sky as a giant poster.
I am sure that such a stunt would would create a bigger impact then targeting individual cars as well as solving a problem with reading the actual message (on the ballons).

It is worth thinking about the consequences….
I’ve just added this http://www.tiny.cc/bOHYe as food for though for everyone.

i agree and I am sure there is a way to make it safe. The most important is not to let the smoke to be released back in the athmosphere and to have some control over the balloon when it is floating.

I think this is a great idea i also like the idea that you put up the pictures to show it. To be honest, I think you’re right!
