Would you be onboard to this change in fireworks?

That is a good point. I read this morning that did happen last night. I think it was in Texas, but I could be wrong.

@AmbiePam we had a house catch on fire from fireworks over the weekend. it wasn't close to me but within our county. A firework fell from a tree onto a roof of a house and the house caught fire.

It is correct, it is the city of Collecchio (province of Parma - Emilia Romagna). Fireworks are banned here in Switzerland, silent or not. The non silent scare the animals, but anyway a firework can start a fire.

@AmbiePam The authorities are trying to protect the animals. Many were scared, run on the crowded roads and were killed. I was so glad when they banned the fireworks, one year one landed in our garden and almost set the fence on fire.

I don't mind the noise if the people setting them off stopped at 10 pm, like they're supposed to. (My fishies don't notice the booms and whizzes.

The noise bothers many veterans also. They are why we have something to celebrate. So I think it is a great idea

Apparently, not the ones in Italy. Maybe you can find a video of it on YouTube. They’ve been doing it awhile, so surely it has been recorded. I’d love an explanation on how they work too.

I know the kids enjoy them. And I wish they had their own place to enjoy, for a short while, then be done with it. I can't tolerate it with my PTSD. And so many pets run away every year, scared of the noise. It is ridiculous.

Here they are doing drone light shows. They are beautiful and can have a similar effect to fireworks, but none of the annoying noises and that smoke that you see in the skies afterwards.

@AmbiePam Provided that they use the battery operated ones, these light shows would be a safe alternative and better for the environment. I do not like the noise pollution from regular fire works.

@AmbiePam I bet some younger kids are afraid of fireworks. I NEVER wore a Halloween costume where I covered my face when working with littlies. Many 1- and 2-year-olds find it scary when a familiar adult is "someone else."

@AmbiePam Pollution is tripled...the chemicals used in them are produced in some factory ..so that releases some toxic fumes. Then the fireworks are transported on these petrol consuming vehicles, that release pollutants. Finally, when the fireworks are there, the chemicals burning away too release some pollution.

The noise causes so much anxiety in pets, in people with PTSD, and others. I would be thrilled if, for ONE year, all the money people spend on this would go for a true need for our country--homeless people and pets, animal shelters, building tiny houses for displaced veterans, and oh, I could go on and on, Amber...just one year. Can you imagine how much good that would be?
