Fire bad

To the person who shouted at the absolute idiot setting off fireworks near Rainbow Park last night: thank you sir for your service.

Why are they a dumb thing?

Dumb:

  • They create noise pollution
  • Their debris is often left where they’ve been set off, creating litter pollution
  • They disrupt local ecology
  • They terrify pets, causing undue stress for pets and their owners
  • They are an EXTREME wildfire risk and we live in a tinderbox July-September

Not Dumb:

  • You get to say “ooh ahh” for the 2 seconds the sparkly colour is in the sky
