The very high cost of fireworks!!

[Catherine]

Are fireworks really worth it?   NO! 

Fireworks are beautiful and exciting, but people's pets are terrorized and and even die because of them.  Wildlife is disturbed by by fireworks. We don't really know how much damage is done to wildlife. Fireworks also are a source of air pollution.
Fireworks have even triggered wildfires where animals and people have died.

I think we can make a very good case against fireworks. 
I am sure we can come up with other ways to have bright lights in the sky.
