>Hallowe'en isn't an American holiday. It combines medieval Christian All Saints with a far more ancient Celtic festival of Samhein.

Yes. Which is very popularly celebrated in its current form in the USA and is being (to some degree) also being celebrated around the world as a result of American cultural exports.

Halloween as the majority of the world knows it is an American holiday. Other countries that have (some form of) Halloween celebrations are not doing it due to Irish influence or something.

Someone near you could warn you.

And finish what you're doing? Why? For tons of power tool uses you can simply stop. It might take a second to stop but that might take a ton shorter than finish what you're doing. E.g. if I'm drilling a hole in a brick wall then I can stop just fine.

Wouldn't call the beach a green space. Some might have it with dunes behind it, but absolutely not all.

And I live in Amsterdam with lots of water. The river Amstel flows through the city and we have a bunch of canals. But not every place next to those is a green space. While I do think we all really enjoy the water and you'll have kids swimming in it in the summer (and us adults as well).
