Traditions and Emissions

Just returned from Hastings (the site of the 1066 invasion of Britain by the Normans). I happened to be there on the 16th of October when, this year, the Hastings Bonfire Society (founded 1995) had its torch-lit procession through the old town. People dressed up as soldiers, zombies, pirates etc and played drums and other instruments. Torches were waved and flares lit. The procession terminated on the beach-front of Hastings, where an enormous bonfire of wooden pallets was lit. There was subsequently a spectacular firework display with cannon blasts. Apparently, many of the towns on England's South Coast (e.g. Lewes and Battle) have similar events on different days in October/November. This is separately from the much more widespread 5th November Guy Fawkes (the man who failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London) celebration. I must admit that I found the whole Hastings event entertaining and exciting but I do worry about the amount of carbon dioxide emissions pumped into the atmosphere by such displays. I suppose how much 'greenhouse gas' depends how frequent and intensive these events are? How do these emissions equate to a space tourism trip or even a short-haul flight on an airline? I expect the emissions per participant in these traditions are relatively modest.
