Last night in the Netherlands: Boy (14) dies, another boy (13) loses hand, dozens need eye surgery, more fine particles emitted than all road vehicles do in a year, €118 million blown up instead of put to use, millions of pets in fear, wildlife disturbed. Private fireworks: great tradition.
@Sustainable2050 Yeah. And people complain about the much safer professional public municipal displays. Which cities sometimes, perfectly reasonably, regard as coming out of the "public health" budget rather than the "entertainment" budget.
