Berlin Drone Show Advocates for Ban on Private New Year's Fireworks

The Deutsche Umwelthilfe highlights safety and environmental concerns with private fireworks through a public event and light display.

The Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) organized a drone show in Berlin as part of a campaign promoting a ban on private fireworks during New Year's celebrations.
The event, under the hashtag '#Böllerciao,' emphasized the dangers of private fireworks, including injuries, pollution, animal distress, and waste.
The drone show, held at Berlin's Kulturforum, showcased colorful displays of motifs like animals and champagne glasses as a proposed alternative to traditional fireworks.
A growing coalition of organizations supports the DUH's call for a ban, urging Interior Minister Nancy Faeser to amend Germany's explosives regulations.
The DUH asserts that many Germans favor safer and more environmentally friendly New Year's celebrations without private fireworks.
