How much pollution does the 4th of July generate?

Author: It must be 1,000s of tons. The air hangs full of disgusting, smelly smoke for hours. If we’re trying to be "green," then why is it okay to generate so much pollution?

Actually the intensive bombing of another country does cause more pollution to the atmosphere and ground than the fireworks celebration exclusively held in the United States to celebrate our freedom. But ofcourse in the future perhaps alternate brilliant fantastic displays of light could replace the contaminents of firework explosives. Also, often times war is unavoidable and deemed by the government to be in the best interests of the country despite all the evils it causes.
a lot.
Since that is only done in the US, and only one day a year, and even then not everyone is doing it, it does not matter. Just like if there was only one car in the world it would not cause global warming. It is the sum total of all the millions of cars being driven every day all around the world that is the problem. One car, or one day of fireworks is just not enough CO2 to make a dent in the atmospheric balance of CO2.
yeah and it all washes out of the atmosphere in the next 2 days because the smoke makes clouds dump water on the area
Honestly, most of human pollution doesn’t even compare to the natural pollution that is already occuring in the world. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens alone produced more than the world’s production of carbon monoxide from vehicles.
The number one producer of green house gas pollutants: cows. Specifically cow farts, which contain high quantities of methane. So don’t blame America. Blame India for not eating beef.
