Firecrackers
I know it’s
a long argument but as one who is disturbed by the harmful effects of fireworks
on the natural environment I think that part of the new reality should consider
the harm that traditional fireworks displays can do. I say fireworks but even
running an internet search for “firecrackers + air pollution” without the
quotes brings in a good deal of scientific information in this regard.
By
scientific I mean organizations like Science,
Forbes, Sciencedirect.com, three of the first hits to come up in my search
this morning.
No doubt
pyromancy has something to do with the enchantment that fireworks explosions
continue to provide (some) people with. But it seems to me that professional
displays and smaller household get togethers could at least be more limited
than they are currently. My immediate context for this is the Barcelona area,
but there’s also the international arena television and newer related media bring
out.
In any case
I feel encouraged by the previously mentioned scientific material. Long
arguments have to start somewhere, right?
