Celebrating New Year's Eve with Fireworks: Trends and Concerns

As New Year's Eve approaches, many revelers are eager to invest in high-quality fireworks. The Pyro-Brothers, a prominent retailer in Geldern, emphasize the importance of quality in firecrackers and rockets, which can cost up to 350 Euros.

However, the festive season also brings challenges, as thefts of fireworks have surged in various regions, particularly in Brandenburg, where police are investigating several incidents. Retailers are experiencing heightened demand, and manufacturers have increased supply by 15-20%, although prices are rising.

Environmental concerns loom large, with activists warning about pollution and risks to wildlife. Authorities advise consumers to purchase certified fireworks to ensure safety.

As the excitement builds for the celebrations, the balance between enjoyment and responsibility remains a pressing issue.
