NYE balloon drop 'goes Pete Tong' over plastic concerns

A plan to drop 130,000 balloons at a New Year's Eve event headlined by DJ Pete Tong has been scrapped after organisers were attacked over the plastic waste it would create.
Cove club, in Manila - capital of the Phillippines, said it was hoping to break a world record but the stunt was savaged on social media.
People accused organisers of being irresponsible and said the waste could end up polluting the sea as microplastic.
