Resolutions That Rescue

This might be the season of celebrations, but certain ways of expression to celebrate this time of year could be called straight dangerous. Especially with all those gatherings of people who are in a festive mood and therefor not really aware of possible dangers that surround them. Perhaps the best known example, and every year’s most underestimated, is the use of fireworks. Precautions in general, and the use of some simple but effective safety products in particular, might seem to kill the merriment and be unnecessary. But the annual global rate of victims speaks of another sobering reality. Pretty things like sparklers for instance seem harmless, but they burn at temperatures up to 2000 degrees celcius, hot enough to melt gold. To grow more awareness of this kind of things I consider a very good resolution for the new year.
