Light pollution is a growing concern caused by artificial lights and other man-made sources. It disrupts wildlife, impacts human health, contributes to climate change, and blocks our view of the skies. The Dark Sky Initiative is a global grassroots movement that promotes turning off lights at night to address these issues. Key benefits of this initiative include protecting wildlife by preventing disorientation in birds, conserving energy through responsible lighting practices, improving human health and sleep patterns, and allowing for clearer stargazing opportunities.
