Maybe next years we can quit shooting off the fireworks and instead have our cities purchase drones that can be charged up and then sent into the sky to create lovely images. After the drone has spent, charge it back up, pack it up and store it away to be used again next year. Or for that matter, maybe use them during the winter holidays.

Here is a quick example. No bangs, no booms, no fires, no scared veterans, no scared pets. Stored, repacked and then brought out and used again next year.
