Ban public sales of Fireworks.
Unfortunately there is too much misuse of fireworks by people that buy them.
The main problem is people stock up , then let them off at inappropriate times during the year.
As well as the amount of fire damage and extra pressure on medical services.
Also there is often a litter problem in public places.
What is the environmental impact from the gases from the burning of the fireworks?
Maybe the Government doesn't want want to ban public sales of fireworks because it gets revenue from the sales in taxes!
Public displays are far better quality and are at a set time.
Why is this important?
It protects our environment!
It stops noise pollution at inappropriate times!
saves extra pressure on fire service and Medical services

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
