No Sex for Men Who Shoot Fireworks in Italy

A group of women in Italy have thought up a great way to achieve their positive goal... No sex. The group's name is "Se Spari, Niente Sesso" (If you shoot, no sex) and their goal is to stop men from shooting off fireworks on New Year's Eve. This group is a necessary in Italy where every year hundreds are injured or maimed due to fireworks which despite being illegal are still homemade at high amounts and illegally imported. What's troubling is that although the casualties are frequent and sometimes deadly they still seem to remain popular.

Carolina Staiano who is a mother of two is the founder of Se Spari, Niente Sesso. She was inspired to start the group because her own father was partially paralyzed due to a fireworks accident. Thankfully Se Spari, Niente Sesso seeks to reduce these casualties. They have reported to have signed up hundreds of woman in Naples, which is an area where setting off fireworks is especially popular. According to Yahoo News, provincial leaders in Naples have caught on to her positive message and have rephrased it to be sent to cell phones on New Years Eve saying, "Make love, not explosions."
