Fireworks are harmful to the people, wildlife, pets and environment. The following reasons are all of top importance. 

1- The animals in the wildlife can abandon their babies due to fear.

2- Fireworks emit an incredible amount of Co2.

3- Fireworks are harmful for people with Asthma, PTSD and other health conditions. 

4- Pets get ear pain and also get frightened and traumatized by the noise. 

5- People in residential areas have access to fireworks putting neighbors, wildlife and pets at risk, including fire hazardous conditions. 

We do no need fireworks to feel pride and celebrate this Nation! Please banish this practice and let's create other ways to celebrate holidays like the 4th of July and New Year's Eve that is fireworks free.
