Fireworks Are Bad For The Earth

Fireworks are explosives. They can set things on fire and cause all sorts of damage to property and other people.

Not to mention the trauma inflicted on animals, indoor and outdoor, poor babies. People are so barbarous they insert fire crackers inside animals and light them! Do not believe me, search fireworks damage injury. "Imagine being an animal, comfortably sleeping in your habitat, and suddenly being awakened by hearing a sequence of booming noises and witnessing unexpected bright flashes out of nowhere, yet unable to escape – a horrifying experience. Unfortunately, this is the reality for many animals." - A Horror Show for Animals, https://earth.org/environmental-impact-of-fireworks/

Fireworks cause extensive air pollution in a short amount of time, leaving metal particles, dangerous toxins, harmful chemicals, and smoke in the air for days (including sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) along with several metal salts, for example aluminum, manganese, and cadmium, to name a few). They also contribute to global warming.

I am not so much talking about sparklers and small fireworks we allow our kids to play with (how insane is that, anyway) (sparklers burn at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which can melt metal). I am talking about professional grade fireworks that are sold to the public for three days before New Year Eve! Many countries in Europe actually allow these sales!

Fireworks need to universally be banned. Never sold to the public. Only allowed to be used in professional environments.

Humanity turns a blind eye to this, just as we do for wars that are waged on civilians.
