We had the most beautiful fireworks on Sunday july 28. 2008 in my wonderful local City of Bathurst.  They were beautiful and managed to bring people near and far and from all ages together.

I thought about things and this is one item that the experts even say created only limited short term pollution but the after effects of the fireworks are far reaching.  Fireworks energizes the population and the community.  I would never want these beautiful creatures to disappear.  Industry and other pollutant causes much great harm to the environment and although they create employement have an obligation over the long term to protech the environment. 

The one item I would like to say is that the part that really wears everyone down is the amount of litter that is created by an event such as this.  It has merit  and spunk but each individual should realize that if they leave things the way they find it, ie: cleaner green space, no litter and returned to norma,. we could likely have more events and get more civic work done.

The litter on the water front was very apparent the next day.  I think everyone should do their part to recycle but also not to litter.

 I can't wait until next years fireworks... my obligation is to keep working to keep the air as clean as possible and reduce the effects of global warming the other days and other ways.
