Now you would be out of New Year hangover and done with the celebrations! How much New Year celebrations would have cost to the world? And Environment? How it matters and what changes it brought to your life? Would it had been easy for you to live without it? More than to anyone else, I'm asking these questions to myself. I'm not against meeting your friends, family, relatives, having a good food together, laughing etc. But fireworks??? |

Drunk driving causes well more deaths than fireworks accidents. Not saying OP drove drunk on NYE, but what's wrong with a nice fireworks display on a major holiday? Comparatively speaking, the various pollution's (smoke, paper, sound) caused by fireworks displays around the world must be negligible compared to the risks of drunk driving, waste from paper / plastic products consumed at parties, etc... I'd be more upset at the needless helium use / waste in balloons (which is a real problem) than a means of celebration that's been used for hundreds of years.
