Safe New Year’s Eve: Tyrol relies on environmentally friendly celebrations!
New Year's Eve in Tyrol is not only a festival of colors and sounds, but also a time when air quality suffers greatly. It gets loud again on December 31st when people welcome the New Year with fireworks. But this custom has its downsides. “The air values measured in recent years show that more and more Tyroleans are breaking away from the tradition of fireworks,” says State Environment Councilor René Zumtobel, referring to the increasing fine dust pollution, which is many times higher on New Year’s Eve in Tyrol meinkreis.at reported. In addition, nature is polluted by the garbage that ends up in forests and meadows after the celebrations.
The authorities warn of the dangers posed by the rockets and firecrackers. “The stress caused by the noise is particularly dangerous for wild animals,” emphasizes Animal Protection and Environment Councilor Josef Geisler. In addition, New Year's Eve is known for numerous accidents and injuries that challenge the emergency services in Tyrol, as State Councilor for Security and Youth Astrid Mair addresses. She urges the public to exercise caution if the fireworks are fired anyway. Compliance with Youth Protection Act is also emphasized to ensure alcohol is consumed responsibly.
