New Year firework and impacts


New Year firework and impacts

From “Sydney kicks off New Year celebrations with seven tonnes of fireworks”
 
Sydney, the state capital city of New South Wales, Australia, which is one of the most important tourism cities in Australia, fired out seven tonnes of fireworks in their New Year celebrations. That was only one position in the global world. At New Year eve, how many tonnes of fireworks had been used? And how much air pollution and hard pollution had been made?
In some degree, the firework made the psychological joy for the people, which would make them feel a new beginning of a new year. However, the positive impact social impacts and economic impacts  - the firework products created more job opportunities; the firework show attracted more tourists - should also be considered with the negative impact on the environment. Though the article has not described the detail of the local government made the firework decision, hope that the negative impacts have been decreased to the minimum.
