Fireworks emit large amounts of toxic fine dust, which, due to its fineness, penetrates every home unfiltered and poses a health risk. They are a fire hazard and stressors for humans and animals. We put the fireworks in Thuringia
hence an end. We want a more contemporary, considerate celebration culture.
Every rocket, every battery, every firecracker that is ignited in … is illegal and can be reported under the Pyrotechnics Act and punished with fines of up to four figures.
We ask the population to celebrate without fireworks out of consideration for their surroundings and the protected goods of safety, health and noise protection. Let it rip metaphorically and have a happy new year.
