It's the first workday after the holidays, but the festive spirit is still in the air—Old New Year is just around the corner! For some, it's a time of coziness and lights, including sparklers.
Although sparklers are classified as Class I pyrotechnics, their use still leaves traces in the environment. Parts of partially burned materials, metal wires, and paper wrappers—all of these can end up in the snow, on the ground, and eventually in bodies of water.
Litter is especially noticeable in areas where people most often celebrate and light such lights, such as courtyards, parks, and natural areas. Snow and leaves trap small particles that take a long time to decompose, and wind and meltwater spread them further. Even if the lights initially appear harmless, they still become part of the city's trash.
So, if you're looking to add some light and warmth to your Old New Year's celebration, consider more eco-friendly options, like natural wax candles. They're no less beautiful, just better for the planet.
Let the Old New Year be cozy, beautiful and eco-friendly.
