Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?

Every single person needs the opportunity to get their own firework and contribute. We’ve never had a rule like “everyone needs their own firework”.

Everyone needs the option. That is important. It’s not important that everyone takes it, but it’s important everyone is given the option.

I just don't get it. It terrifies people's pets, and the wildlife outside, it's incredibly noisy (meaning you can't get away from it if you live near someone doing it), and it produces tons of waste and pollution. Can't we just have a big BBQ like we do the rest of the year when we celebrate stuff?

Everyone needs the option.

Why is this important?
