Know the Difference between Traditional Firecrackers and Eco-Friendly Fire Crackers

Some conventional producers of fireworks have risen to the environmental challenge and have gone into environmentally friendly fire-crackers. These components are either perchlorate-free or sulfur-free, or significantly low compared to normal ones. As compared to standard crackers they often contain a small fraction of metal compounds.

They don’t use lead or ash and the use of nitrates as oxidizers further decrease the release of pollutants into the air. These days, celebrations only emit carbon dioxide and nitrogen. This causes water and air pollution. Eco-friendly fireworks are just as much fun, create much less smoke, and make more noticeable colors. Can not overlook the disparity. In addition, produced crackers thus produce brighter and deeper colors of blues and reds which are not possible with traditional pyrotechnics. Who’d have thought?

All of us can actively aim to raise awareness for a greener the planet, for our children. The annual group displays from the last years of my the residential complex has brought together many like-minded, loving and responsible people under one dazzling night sky. If we can take this a step further and make a stronger contribution to conservation today, we will be proud of a move that will be thankful to our children for tomorrow.
