Should firework shows be banned due to environmental concerns?
I think this is a relatively miniscule amount of pollution being created. Can you imagine if everyone watching the show, instead lit off their own show at their house instead. Not only would you have a great deal more people getting injured, but you’d have a lot more air and land pollution to deal with. Leave the fireworks shows alone.
I believe that fireworks are a huge waste of money and they polute horribly. I have asthma and used to have attacks every July 5th. Many states have banned all but large PUBLIC displays, however it is unlikely that it will be outlawed completely. No lawmaker would create the law, because it would be largely unpopular and their opponent would paint them as unpatriotic. But we can get cities and counties to ban personal use of fireworks. Fire departments, hospitals, and the heart, lung and cancer societies have offered support in the form of endorsement and education Keep up the good thinking outside the box, youre great to think of ways to make the world a better place.
