In the department, it is emphasized that the use of fireworks has a negative impact on the atmosphere, especially in the winter period when the level of pollutants significantly increases due to temperature inversions. Additionally, pyrotechnic products create a lot of solid waste and increase the risk of fires.
Instead, the ministry suggests considering safer ecological alternatives, such as light installations, LED illuminations, and drone shows, which can create a festive atmosphere without harming the environment.
Furthermore, the ministry recommends that local authorities and city mayors organize a refusal of New Year fireworks during the current holiday season.
It is worth reminding that last year, the Bishkek city hall already decided not to hold a New Year fireworks display.
