Are Fireworks History?



Oh, stop being such a tiresome wet blanket and have some fun, its not the end of the world.

It kind of is the end of the world if we keep pumping chemicals into our air and water for no good reason.

Yes, it's true fireworks are bad for the environment, not to mention the health concerns. But the issue getting press is worse for the Cause than the fireworks themselves. Anti-environmentalists are always looking for "unreasonable sacrifices" they claim we tree huggers like to call for. Fireworks are such a beloved part of American fabric that if we start to expose their harmful side-effects and criticize them, people will get defensive and exasperated with green messages in general. Fireworks happen (on a large scale) once a year, and I think it's safe to say we should be combating more significant polluters than trying to win an uphill battle like this one. Now seriously, stop being a tiresome wet blanket and have some fun.
