Overwhelming evidence demonstrates that the short-term use of fireworks has long-term damaging... effects on wildlife (in particular migratory bird and fowl) while also causing acute stress and trauma in domestic pets.
In addition, fireworks produce significant pulses of highly pollutant materials that also contribute to the chemical pollution of soil, water, and air, which has implications for human as well as animal health. Fireworks in the U.S. emit about 60,340 metric tons of CO2 every year, the equivalent of what 12,000 gas-powered cars emit in a year. Furthermore, fireworks emit a significant amount of ozone, a well-known secondary pollutant.
Popular fireworks can easily be replaced with cleaner drone and laser light shows to avoid the highly damaging impact on wildlife, domestic pets and the broader environment.
I am petitioning Disney, as a leader in the forefront of children’s entertainment, to demonstrate to the world that they are concerned about the future of the customers they serve. A simple step, such as replacing the use of their DAILY firework displays at two of their parks (Magic Kingdom and Epcot) with more sustainable alternatives, such as laser light, can make a huge impact on the surrounding environment. It is now 2023, and we are in the midst of a global environmental crisis. We simply cannot afford to find pleasure in the short term “bang” of fireworks, knowing the long term damage that it creates.
