Sydney Brings in the New Year with Green Fireworks Spending New Year's Eve in Sydney? Well, you will be privy to an eco-friendly fireworks show. Fireworks traditionally contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to the environment and pretty toxic to the public as well. Researchers recently developed new pyrotechnic formulas that replace perchlorate with nitrogen-rich materials that burn cleaner and produce less smoke.

Sydney has promised a green fireworks show. The city will welcome 2009 with a carbon neutral display and the City of Sydney council will order a carbon audit into its all New Year's Eve activities.

More than a million people show up for the famed Sydney fireworks every year, so go early and stake out a great spot on the Opera steps or the Circular Quay.
