Living the Green Life: 4th of July Special

Having fireworks is so outdated! And besides, it's bad for the environment. People are always saying how to live a eco-friendly life, act more green, et al. Well, here's one for the books: why don't we have fake fireworks that is shown via satellite from around the nation kinda like a hologram.
Watching this year's fireworks got me thinking-isn't fireworks bad for our environment? Such a peaceful night. Where did the idea of fireworks came from? I guess from the song Star-Spangled Banner. Remember the line And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air/ Now that we're being so environmentally-friendly, we shouldn't put anymore fireworks anymore cause it kills the environment. It comtaminates the air with what's left from the fireworks-fuse I think- whether it's put on illegally by your family and friends or being put on for public display with the help of professionals, we should ban fireworks. After the fireworks are blasted into the air, it goes into the environment, which most likely kills environment and hastens the greenhouse effect. You don't want that to happen, don't you?
Fireworks is all in the spirit of fun, but the greenhouse effect is no laughing metter, so y'all must take care of the environment, just as you must respect yourself and others.

To Green Living!
