Millions are spent on fireworks, the world over , which cause untold damage not only to property, but also injuries to people and animals. On top of all this , there’s the unnecessary burden for the climate, this is just so ludicrous, it’s unbelievable that this is all done as a celebration ! 🙀

I much prefer those that drink themselves stupid, and then think its ok to drive.

Closely followed by those that shoot guns to celebrate.  Apparently they don't think the bullets come back down.

You just have to look at the world to see what free will, "me first" mentality, and bad decisions have done.

That's awesome you work at an animal sanctuary! I'll help protect my animal friends against trophy hunters and poachers (well, in my imagination - the most I do is donate and sign petitions). Happy New Year with a refreshing start to the day!

A “ me fist” mentality is a immature one , it’s so much nicer to think of others first .

Free will is great.   Me first come from the base survival instinct. The same instinct that after some wisdom probably got us too hunt in packs and become us first.  It'll take a lot more wisdom to include the cosmos in the us.

I totally agree Woollensock! like you said it looks like our safety and climate change is not so important anymore if they get our money in return. it is sick. I would not let my kids go out as long as drunk people are allowed to destroy everything and throw fireworks in all directions.......I promise tomorrow you will read those horrible stories from people missing some eyes, fingers or whatever again...and for what? because people don't have a life without fireworks?

happy new year to everyone though and best wishes however you celebrate it ^_^

A lot haves to do how it’s been so ingrained as to be the natural way having celebration and to bring yule tide cheer the beginning hopefully a great new year. I completely agree it’s sad, do not even join the hupla and extravagant ridiculousness that many indulge in, and also have picked up from some bush a pass’r out, wake him enough to tell him if he nearby living my shoulder walk him there. It’s terribly sad seeing such behavior but at the same time especially due the turmoil the earth presently is dealing with is understandable them letting loose to have a wonderful time, and only hope it stays peaceful for all, and not absurd nor harmful, just peace through the evening’s crazed moment of that year !

As mentioned, it’s not as bad as the senseless killings of innocent people in war... Of course, I’m not trying to say that there isn’t any consequences, I’m just saying it’s not as bad as it could be. But can you believe this: “Americans spend more than $1 billion on fireworks each year, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association”.
