mmh….I wonder why you’re asking. Personally, I think fireworks are a waste of money. Of course they’re lovely to look at but really the money could be spent better. The same applies to formula 1 also!
I think they can be fun if used safely, but they may have an impact on the environment because they leave metals behind which could wash into the ground and rivers.
D’you know, I’d never really looked at the environmental impact of fireworks – I’d just kind of assumed they resulted in litter and a bit of smoke – but your question has made me realise just how big an issue it can be! I read this article (https://theconversation.com/our-prettiest-pollutant-just-how-bad-are-fireworks-for-the-environment-52451) and I think you might have changed my mind – they sound like they can be terrible!
