There's no way for us to make fireworks appear environmentally friendly so you can imagine our delight when we found Wishes in the Sky! What better way to celebrate your special event than by launching an authentic Chinese flying lantern? The magical effect of seeing these glowing lanterns, when set off simultaneously, will leave a long-standing impression on your guests. And they're biodegradable too. This original idea was brought to the UK by a company called Wishes In The Sky. Even better, Jonny Knowles and Talia, the founders of the company, have decided to donate 5% of the proceeds from the lanterns to the conservation charity, Rainforest Concern. A pack of 10 lanterns including pen, for all those wishes costs £39.99 from which Wishes In The Sky will donate £2 to the environment. So far Wishes In The Sky have protected 124 acres since August '06.
