On March 10, which is counting day, we could start by shunning fireworks. Let us find a better way to celebrate the triumph of the victors while rejoicing in the defeat of those political villains.
Environmental and noise pollution should be a matter of concern to all. The government needs to totally ban all fireworks in the best interests of protecting the wellbeing of the population from air and noise pollution.
Fireworks cause serious air pollution, produce a lot of garbage and noise, and are a huge disturbance especially for children, the elderly as well as animals.
It causes distress, especially as fireworks can sound like gunfire and can aggravate a nervous condition. Firecrackers are in fact a waste of money. Safeguarding our health and protecting the lives of others should be our priority.
Medical experts state that the air gets contaminated with toxic gases and remains for days. The toxic elements that reach the lungs, cannot be removed thereafter and can cause grave health issues. It causes long-term effects on children. They frighten children and adults, cause fires and terrify pets and wildlife.
Let us hope and pray common sense will prevail and that fireworks will be banned by the Government for the common good.
