@abcnews: Thousands of rubber ducks raced down the Roaring Fork River in Aspen, Colorado, in the city’s annual Ducky Derby. The charity event has been taking place since 1992.
Just wanted to know why? If you shouldn't allow balloons to leave your hands then how is it any different for a yellow rubber duck to float down stream?

Not to be a Debby Downer, but is this environmentally safe? Seems contradictory to everything Colorado tells us about being environmentally conscious.

This is adorable but, tell me there is a net at the end and they will pick them all up before wild life tries to eat them.

I live in CO. YES!!! Every duck is assigned a number and you bid on it. All of the money goes to conservation efforts and every duck is accounted for.

This kind of fund raising needs to stop. After it’s done, they should be fined for every toy not accounted for…….😡😡

I think this might be bad because I'm thinking about micro plastic there's an awful lot of ducks there bumping into each other also being bumped into rocks and water can be harsh as well it should sto

I get it. They collect them all. But why create a demand for thousands of plastic ducks to be manufactured to one day break down into nanoparticles? Plastic is polluting even our blood vessels now.

I have a feeling that the rubber coating can't be benign for the water quality.

Oh my all that plastic is so bad for the environment. I am surprised that woke Kamala Harris isn’t putting and end to this duck disaster. Joe is sleeping so you know he can’t.
