Fireworks ban on New Year's Eve? Environmental Confederation demands sharper rules!

in Berlin have a long tradition in Berlin, especially on New Year's Eve when the sky is illuminated at midnight. But the German Environmental Aid (DUH) pointed out the dangers that go hand in hand with these celebrations. From 2026, a ban on sales for Böller will be sought to reduce injuries and environmental pollution. According to DUH managing director Jürgen Reusch, this measure is urgently necessary, since numerous people are violated in Berlin alone in Berlin, especially by improper use of fireworks. Last year there were 20 seriously injured in the capital, many of them through exploding firecrackers in the eyes, as senior physician Dr. Ameli Gabel-Pfisterer reports (Berlin Live).

To solve the problem, the DUH suggests that cities and municipalities organize professional fireworks, in which alcoholized celebrants no longer get dangerous material. This idea encounters the consent of Green politicians who complain that the sale of explosives on New Year's Eve does not correspond to the regulation anyway, which has been considered 364 days a year (iheartberlin).
