    That definitely has to cause more pollution.

    This is what the article is about… They’re basically saying “The fireworks are going to cause hazardous air conditions, stay inside and keep your windows and doors shut, don’t go outside to cook because you’re subjecting yourselves to dangerous levels of pollution.”

    Agree with you that fireworks just seem like an unnecessary relic from the past. Plus, in addition to the pollution concerns, they scare the shit out of animals, and can cause fires, especially the ‘backyard’ variety.

      We did also get a reminder from our Congressperson today that fireworks aren’t just illegal and dangerous to the user, they can cause devastating wildfires. Which we don’t need any more of. Agreed, but what about the dumpster fire over there where you work, Representative?
