Fireworks emit pollutants into the atmosphere. Now, researchers reporting in Environmental Science & Technology have estimated that, although so-called environmentally friendly fireworks emit ~40% less particulate matter than traditional fireworks, they still significantly deteriorate air quality
@GreenFire@thecyberjudas They also scare the shit out of rescue animals and cause problems for anyone in the area with noise sensitivity- which is a lot of people- and can be really disruptive to people who work important jobs in healthcare, safety or factory or restaurant or delivery jobs on shifts.

Yeah, fireworks are terrible for domestic pets and a lot of people. I can't imagine they're very good for wildlife either, but with our air quality issues and heat waves I just stuck to that aspect with that reply guy.

I was waiting for his "But, it's what our founding fathers intended..." attempt at connecting dots that arebt there.
Yes, George Washington & Co. intended for made in China fireworks bought by money with George's (& Co.) faces on it from fireworks stands belonging to "Native Americans" that while ARE native definitely would NOT be ok w/ American tag... on reservations that are tiny fraction of their original land.
