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 plus the appalling working conditions of people making the fireworks, and those who mine the elements that go in the fireworks to give them the brief colour sparks. Resources wasted for a millisecond of colour in the night sky.
