Should we use Helium in balloons or Hydrogen?

I think that we should use hydrogen in balloons because we can breathe it if it is with oxygen but when breathing pure hydrogen you will most likely die. Also, you can put it in balloons without taking a limited resource from the world.One advantage hydrogen has over helium is it can fly much faster, and it can go way higher. This is an advantage because a faster gas will help rockets go to space much faster.
Helium is running out and it can kill you.It is a fact that helium can cause dizziness, headaches or even death if you breathe to much of it.According to history a teen died from breathing a tank of helium.A finite resource that one day will run day run out should not be used for balloons.For example when I was little younger for my birthday party I had helium balloons but now I don’t.Rockets use helium to launch . The truth is that you should leave helium for rockets.This proves that we should use helium for more important things.

One other gas that works nearly as well as helium in balloons that doesn’t damage the world is hydrogen.We can use hydrogen in balloons it is more dangerous. According to history hydrogen filled zeppelins exploded because fire got in them.Hydrogen is flammable it should never be close to fire.Factually zeppelins were filled with hydrogen and a little flame destroyed them.Hydrogen is four times lighter than helium.The truth is hydrogen can float like helium but it can kill if you breathe it by itself .Hydrogen is dangerous but much more common on earth than helium.
It is my opinion that we should use hydrogen in balloons not helium. I also think that the only reason hydrogen is dangerous is it is flammable.Hydrogen is much lighter than helium.I would argue that the advantage is that it can move faster and go higher.Even though I think hydrogen is a better gas to put in balloons helium is much safer to be around.But helium is much more dangerous for breathing.I think that people die all over the place from breathing to much helium.This proves helium is safer but I still think hydrogen is better to put in balloons because it can move faster and higher and you can breathe when it’s with oxygen.

Although helium is much safer than hydrogen prefer hydrogen in balloons over helium.
