Imagine for a moment that your child is autistic, and fireworks cause them anxiety and distress.
Or that your sister or brother is a veteran, and the sound of fireworks force them to relive terrifying events over and over.
Or that your parent suffers from dementia, and fireworks leave them in a state of confusion and fear.
Imagine that your neighbour has lost everything due to a house fire started by an errant firework.
Or that the stream behind your house where your children used to splash and play has been polluted by chemicals from spent fireworks.
Or that your beloved family pet has run away in fear and is cold, scared, disoriented and unable to find their way home.
Now imagine for a moment that you have the power to prevent every single one of these scenarios from happening.
