At the start of January,
Zoos Victoria partnered with
the Melbourne Stars and
Melbourne Renegades Big
Bash League teams at the
MCG to try and break the world
record for most number of
people simultaneously blowing
bubbles.
We attempted to break this
record in order to raise
awareness of why we should
blow bubbles, not balloons
when outdoors. It was a
big task with thousands of
environmentally-friendly bottles
of bubbles (all made from 100%
recyclable plastic with the foil
lids removed) handed out to
people at the game.
While we didn't break West Ham
Football Club's current record
of 23,680 people, we did have
more than 11,000 people filling
the MCG with tiny bubbles – an
absolutely magical sight!
