Save Your Energy

Celebrate sustainably this Fourth of July!

Traditional fireworks can be harmful to the environment. Consider eco-friendly alternatives such as laser light shows, biodegradable confetti, or attending community events that prioritize sustainability. If you do use fireworks, clean up debris immediately to prevent pollution in your neighborhood.
