How to light fireworks
One of the nicer parts of a loud party evening with music you are not a massive fan of - is that you have time to get out and produce a little video tutorial how to use fireworks. Produced might be a bit exaggerated - let us say a video that shows how it could be done. Some guidelines below from safety organisations - hope no one had an isssue with these rockets.
Fireworks guidelines for home use:
Never allow children to play with fireworks.
Read and follow all warnings and instructions.
Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks.
Only light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from flammable materials.
Never try to relight fireworks that have not fully functioned.
Keep a bucket of water in case of a malfunction or fire.
The Day After
Sadly a day after the entire City looks like below - waste of exploded fireworks all over the place, hardly anyone feels responsible to clean their own dirt. The following shows waste on grass with an empty waste basket nearby. The other one showed the Olympic Lake in Munich some Years ago on New Year's Day with a lot of rockets and fireworks waste on the ice surface.
Happy New Year Everyone (Again)

celebrations should not be disastrous for the environment
Absolutely. The problem here is it's noones property so there's no short term interest to care for it and more than anything noone thinks they're gonna loose anything from ignoring the waste, because others will take care of it.
Yeah, the pictures after the fireworks look quite sad.
Fireworks with noisy send off should be banned, don't get me wrong when we were young we got them and they were fun.
Of late they make such sound pollution, it sounds like a war zone. Scaring dogs, cats and even birds in the trees, where we live the monkey's were chattering in fright, no longer is this alright.
Cleaning up after the nights entertainment is a must. Happy New Year and let us all learn and change things as we progress.
Yeah I understand your points - did not use them for years though. My princess was a bit sick and she was sleeping from 8pm until 7am and did not hear anything :-). Typing up that is a must I agree.
Frohes neues Uwe und danke für die Anleitung :-)
War mit eine Ehre lol
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I love fireworks but not the aftermaths. I mean i don't like the smoke that they produce. It makes breathing hard. I smoke smells bad. And of-coarse there is thrash.
