Should fireworks be changed to protect animals and some humans?

We discussed how loud fireworks could frighten our pets, wildlife and people who do not like loud bangs. We discussed the impact on our pets around bonfire night and how we felt upset that they could not go outside without feeling terrified. We also thought about the impact on the environment especially the pollution and rubbish created by fireworks. 

We decided that we would rather use water-fountain light shows, laser or drone shows for celebrations and festivals that use fireworks.

 After bonfire night we reflected that the sky was foggy and the smog filling the air was not good for our health or the environment. Therefore, using alternatives to fireworks would be beneficial.
