Hello everyone,

once again, it is time for my semi-annual rant against the
evils/terrors/toxins resulting from fireworks and fireworks shows, and this
year is no different. But for this 4th of July, instead of talking about
some of the harms resulting from fireworks, I focused on drones designed to
create these light shows. (It's useful to note that drones are increasingly
being used to monitor wildlife and nesting bird colonies, so this is a
useful technology whose many different applications are only starting to be
explored.) Basically, in this piece, I argue that, if China -; where
fireworks were invented -; is hosting massive celebratory public drone light
shows instead of fireworks, why can't the USA?


Drone Light Shows "Way Cooler" Than Fireworks

As always, please share this piece with your friends, colleagues and
others, especially your local elected officials, and on social media and
twitter. If we can get enough people talking about this as one of several
environmentally-friendly alternatives to fireworks, perhaps we can make a
sweeping change in how things are done.

thank you.
