Timely article in National Geographic talks about the shift in thinking around July 4th fireworks. The story talks about harmful effects of fireworks to humans (triggering our startle response) which is especially troublesome for certain people dealing with PTSD, particularly veterans. Also, just the potential for harm - each year many people end up at the hospital emergency department with fireworks-inflicted wounds.
|
It also points to a study that gets into the short- and long-term fallout on the environment from fireworks - from animals to bioaccumulation.
|
Whether you read the article or the study, you only need to scroll your social media feed and you will see a growing number of people who are anti-fireworks - maily citing the distress it causes their dogs or their neighbors, who are veterans.
|
The article talks about how drones may be the future of fireworks (as pictured above). I've seen it done – a contestant on the new season of America's Got Talent.

I'm lukewarm on drones as fireworks. It's probably the way of the future, like the way robots are taking everything else over.

Thousands of Granite Staters fall victim to the insidious traps set by scammers each year. From 2019 until April 2024, fraud of various types accounted for losses of nearly $80 million in NH, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The most common type of fraud is imposter scams, where the fraudster pretends to be an official and requests information, money, or a gift card to solve the supposed problem. These account for almost half of all Granite State scams.
