Waste of money? No more so than any other form of entertainment that is temporary.

Environmentally, yeah…they’re pretty bad. Air pollution is a big issue. Some birds get killed when they run into things because they can’t see very well after being scared off by the fireworks. Any large human event is environmentally bad, like a sporting event.

We generate literal tons of plastic and other human waste when we gather for mass entertainment.
