Fireworks and the Environment: How to Enjoy the Booms Without the Bust

Is there anything more special than a dazzling display of fireworks to celebrate with family and friends? We think not! From July 4th to New Year’s Eve, stunning displays can be seen all across the land, thrilling onlookers with diamond sparkles bursting in the night sky.

But as mesmerizing as these fireworks can be, have we ever stopped to consider what they do to the environment? Some are not so thrilled with the air and noise pollution associated with fireworks, and the waste they generate can be significant with larger displays.

It’s time we explore some eco-friendly ways we can enjoy fireworks and protect the earth at the same time.

Solving Fireworks Environmental Downside

First, let’s list the issues that come up whenever we enjoy a fireworks display. The first concern is air pollution, as fireworks release smoke and particulates into the air. These emissions can exacerbate illnesses like asthma for folks living nearby.

Another issue is noise pollution, which any dog owner can tell you is a big problem. Loud bangs can also be disruptive to human ears and impact local wildlife, causing disorientation.

Now that we’ve named the primary issues with fireworks, here are some ways to resolve them:

  •       Green Alternatives – Many firework manufacturers are now producing eco-friendly versions that contain fewer harmful chemicals resulting in lower smoke emissions. Some examples are “cold” fireworks with lower heat generation and noise and nitrogen-rich fireworks in place of barium and strontium give off much less toxic smoke.
  •       Public Displays vs. Private Displays – Gathering many families to celebrate or contributing funds to a larger community display is becoming popular. Everyone can still enjoy the fireworks, but the emissions and waste are reduced.
  •       Respecting Wildlife – If you are setting off a private fireworks display, make an effort to do it far away from natural animal habitats or areas densely populated with wildlife. This reduces the chance of disrupting migration or nesting.
  •       Laser/Firework Combinations – Some firework aficionados use fewer fireworks and more laser and LED light effects to reduce noise and waste.
  •       Be Responsible – Cleaning up after your display is appropriate for the environment and benefits everyone involved. If you are creating a large display, arrange for a group of volunteers to help with the cleanup.

Summary

With a bit of imagination and creativity, we can have our beautiful fireworks displays and keep Mother Earth happy. Embrace eco-friendly alternatives, choose public displays, be mindful of wildlife and neighbors, and conduct proper cleanup to reduce the environmental impact of your next production.
