Reduce Light Pollution

 


Losing the Dark of Night, at the Speed of Light

Researchers claim that 99% of people in Europe and the United States live under light-polluted skies. In some parts of the world, people never experience a true night sky, but merely an artificial twilight.

The problem stems from poorly targeted, overly bright, and improperly shielded outdoor lighting. Rather than being focused on the actual area that needs to be illuminated, bad lighting spills where it’s not intended or needed—particularly the night sky.
