4th of July – Independence with Green Fireworks
Posted on June 24th, 2010 by Sulaiman
July 4, 2010 will mark the 50th Birthday of the American flag with fifty stars, but most importantly it will be a day when all Americans celebrate our independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Traditionally, the 4thof July is celebrated with the explosion of brightly colored pyrotechnics a.k.a fireworks but if you are an American you already know all this. However, did you know that traditional fireworks are filled with toxic pollutants such as “percholorate” which is an environmental pollutant with potential adverse effects on people and wildlife? In addition, some fireworks can also contain other harmful ingredients, such color-producing heavy metals which have the potential to contaminate our water supply if exploded over a lake or river.
The good news is that researchers have developed new pyrotechnic formulas that replace “perchlorate” with nitrogen-rich materials or “nitrocellulose” which burns cleaner and produce less smoke. One company in which you can purchase these “Environmental Friendly” fireworks is called “BIG FIREWORKS”.
Big Fireworks is the first to develop a green line of fireworks last year in 2009. Their Green Fireworks use 100% recycled material with as little packaging as possible and some are even smokless. Also, their Green items are free of the harmful ingredient “perchlorate” but instead full of nitrogen-rich materials called “nitrocellulose” as mentioned earlier. A link to their website can be found below:

This 4th of July should not just be a celebration of a “Free America” but also the starting point for a “Greener America” where ALL Americans, not only a select few, make the conscience decision to participate in the green movement. It will not only have a positive impact on the environment today but it will also benefit FUTURE GENERATIONS.
