Answer 2

1. How damaging is bonfire night to the atmosphere?
Such fires do not damage the atmosphere.
2. and should it be banned?
Banning is a political question related to the activities that accompany such an activity. If drinking and vandalism get out of control during this activity then yes, it should be stopped. But if the community is just having a good time, then let them enjoy it.

;-D It is more and more difficult to find simple fun.

Answer 3

If you are worried about the environment and pollutants I really wouldn't waste my time on bonfires and fireworks - bonfires are natural and fireworks are used in far too small amounts to be of any harm. I would spend your time campaigning against industry or how much we use cars rather than trying to stop a tradition that brings togetherness and pleasure to so many. Kill joy!

Answer 4

It's not. What's created by fire is simply a lack of oxygen. Ashes lift up into the atmosphere, but then they fall back to earth and are incorporated into the ground. Ashes are actually very good fertilizer for plants, and they kind of neutralize the soil. Worry about things that put foreign chemicals into the air, not something that happens naturally and has a natural process.

Answer 5

That is a valid point

The Earth is a big ecosystem though and (I feel) bonfire night is small bier.

comment raised earlier about volcano's is true although the writer was sarcastic.

The Earth has great power to renew itself, as long as mankind does not put too much load on it.

Answer 6

Get a life. There are lots more important things in this world at present than banning a social evening that represents a piece of this fast decaying countries history. Incidentally, it is aimed at the enjoyment of children!!

Answer 7

I will strongly resist any and every attempt to scrap Bonfire Night.

It's a celebration of a failed attempt to destroy the British Monarchy and Government and whatever your thoughts on them now, no attempt before or since came anywhere near as close to succeeding :-)

It's part of British heritage and should be celebrated with joy, especially as today's British Culture needs some life to it :-)

Answer 8

Wah wah wah.

Volcones put way more stuff itno the air than man does. Natural fires take places all the time.

Your little bonfire will do nothing. Don't think yourself so powerful or important.

Answer 9

burning wood is not harmfull in itself, its been happening for millions of years (natural fires from trees struck by lightning for example), the chemicals releasde in the fireworks may have a slight toxicity but nothing to major would be my guess. all told i'd say its a minor thing.

Answer 10

I would ban it for the fear it gives the animals (fireworks)
