Rejected petition RESTRICT THE USE OF FIREWORKS SO THEY ARE ONLY USED BONFIRE NIGHT AND NEW YEARS
Rejected on
Stop the use of fireworks for birthdays, weddings etc
To let Fireworks only be used at relevant times of the year for BONFIRE night and NEW YEARS EVE only.
Even with their ephemeral nature, fireworks cause a lot of air pollution in a very short amount of time. ... A scientist told Forbes that when the fireworks go off, the metal salts and explosives undergo a chemical reaction that releases smoke and gases into the air. As we are fighting to protect our ozone I feel that fireworks are adding to the problem of air pollution.
They only used to be used bonfire night and from 2000 new years eve.
It is also causing great stress to pets at home.
