Environmental Risks and Traditions

The traditions linked to the festivities bring the lightness of good relationships and harmony between people. However, the environmental risks surrounding these situations must be highlighted. Within this view, we can emphasize the release of balloons, a fact that causes forest fires caused by falls in different areas, in addition to making air navigation difficult and even impracticable.

Considering the damage to wild and domestic animals, as well as to newborns and the elderly, we note the growth of regulations that address the issues of blast fireworks, placing the need to educate the population about the practice of pyrotechnics.

Our customs are treasures of our culture, however, raising the standard of our behavior is an important item for the advancement in social and environmental issues, a fact that makes it essential to raise awareness of the population about which traditions should be transmitted to new generations, as well as their impacts.
