Tiny plants, like moss, are easy to overlook. They’re often as small as an eyelash, and they tend to grow on the ground in dark, wet places. But these small plants sometimes turn out to be big clues in forensic cases. A team of scientists learned that firsthand in 2013, when they were asked to […]

Drought is affecting the Great Hungarian Plain like never before, but a team of concerned citizens have hatched a clever plan to address it in the short term. It’s arguable what the Eastern European country is more famous for, its grasslands and horse heritage, or its thermal baths. The capital of Budapest is filled with […]

TITLE:
The Netherlands Bans Fireworks

URL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXZyqCDoFrI

DESCRIPTION:
The Netherlands is banning consumer fireworks this year, which is huge news for both people and wildlife!

This ban comes after decades of campaigning by animal welfare groups and after over 1,000 people were treated for fireworks-related injuries during last year's New Year's celebrations.

Fireworks can also trigger veterans with PTSD and they release toxic chemicals that pollute our environment.

And if pets could talk, they'd probably be pretty relieved to hear this news too.

Up to 50% of dogs are afraid of fireworks, and will hide, shake, or flee, as they’re unable to process what’s going on.

Shelters actually see a 30% increase in missing pets during New Year as terrified animals run away.

Fireworks also startle birds who take off in a panic, leading to exhaustion and collisions, and some can't find their way back to their babies.

So Starting at New Year's Eve 2026, the sale of fireworks will be illegal across the Netherlands, and the majority of Dutch people wanted to see this happen.

But what do you think, should fireworks be banned in more countries?
