Ban the sale and use (other than municipal-sponsored firework events):
1. Disruptive to wildlife and household pets.
2. They are unsafe: Every year, numerous people are injured or homes are destroyed as a result of fireworks.
3. Litter
4. Noise: Unfortunately people don't just light off fireworks on New Years or the Fourth. They light them off days before and after these holidays and often into the early hours of the morning when children are sleeping (and adults who have to work).
5. Pollution and health risks from the shower of toxic chemicals (aluminum, antimony sulphide, copper, etc.)
