In the first four days of the Spring Festival Holiday, the fireworks playing dropped sharply compared to last year. According to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, the whole city is encouraged to stop playing fireworks so as to protect the environment. As a result, few people choose to play fireworks on Lunar New Year Eve and the total garbage was only 2000 tons, dropping about 1/3, which helps reducing the working time of the cleaners.
According to Mr. Hu, who is living in Huaqiaocheng, he was almost sleepless the whole night on the Lunar New Year Eve because of the thundering noise of fireworks. However, this year, when the new year bell sounds, the noise of fireworks only lasted for about 10 minutes. He was able to fall asleep this year now.
There is another evidence for the decline of fireworks in 2015. Mr. Shi has been selling fireworks in Yinzhou District for about 10 years. He said that the sales of fireworks is on the decline these years. In 2015, he only prepared half of the fireworks of last year. However, until the evening of Lunar New Year Eve, there were still many left. He had no choice but sell them at a low price. But there were still some unsold. For the next Spring Festival, he will prepare less or even stop the business.
The head of purchase and wholesale of a fireworks company said, there were 50 stores in 2014 in Haishu District. The number declined to no more than 20 in 2015.
