Watching a show on Thailand and they are showing a festival where the Thai people release sky born lanterns. Releasing in the lanterns into the air is away to let go of bad luck.

I will have to find out when the festival is and release my own lantern...

but what to use that it biodegradable?

Some sort of paper?

Paper! That's traditional.

I am thinking of the candle part.

Beeswax?

The lanterns are generally paper and are commercially available. I've done a couple of those lantern releases, and, if I recall correctly, they have a small holder for a fire source, and that fire source is waxed cardboard. It usually burns out, and if i does not, the cardboard and wax are both biodegradable.
