The Downsides of Fireworks

Firework displays have an enduring popularity, especially in this country around the fifth of November. Although they are somewhat obvious, it is worth listing their drawbacks. They include:- a) the high incidence of burns resulting from their use; b) their contribution to 'green-house' gases and climate change; c) their expense; d)the fact that their use terrorises many companion animals and e) old folk, in care homes, reportedly sometimes link the explosions to bombing experienced in the Second World War.
