#Lichtverschmutzung hat sich rasant entwickelt. 💡 LED Technik, ohne Frage sparsam im Verbrauch, führt oftmals zu überbeleuchteten Straßen, Gebäuden oder Wegen ohne die gebotene Abschirmung.
Wer hier im #fediverse hat mit greller Beleuchtung zu kämpfen? Zeigt uns das Problem!
Wir, die @bmu und ich, setzen uns für eine rücksichtsvolle #Beleuchtung ein.

@podfeet What is this “Milky Way" of which you speak? 😉

I‘m on vacation in a rural area with less #LightPolution right now. Just in time for the #Perseids 💫

It's really hard to tell from this photo because there's so much light pollution on our street, but the moon is pinkish-orange tonight
I think it's from smoke from the wild fires🔥 in Canada 🇨🇦

More than 170 species of fireflies light up North America's nights, but several are threatened by light pollution, pesticides and climate change. #darkskyawareness #climatechange #LightPolution #pesticide https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2023/06/02/firefly-lightning-bug-extinction-explained/70257108007/?fbclid=IwAR0TfgDb1u6toO1Bsvd8_DKzIdyTcVoRkOSbyJEfAW6630hG9GtsMh3Ll70

Time of year to repeat an unpopular opinion: #EarthHour is an unfortunate #WWF initiative, allowing municipalities and companies to do #greenwashing for 1 hour, when they could switch off or reduce 💡💡 on all the other nights of the year. The aim of the initiative is to raise awareness on the reduction of energy, but systematically omitting the impacts of artificial light at night #ALAN #lightpolution. It's a pity, because reducing light reduces energy, while the reverse is not always true.

A big article on #lightpolution in the new issue of The New Yorker, on the new book from @JohanEklof , “The Darkness Manifesto”
“Is Artificial Light Poisoning the Planet?
A Swedish ecologist argues that its ubiquity is wrecking our habitats—and our health.”https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/02/27/darkness-manifesto-book-johan-eklof

Even if #ALAN (Artificial Light At Night) is always a #pollutant, there are exceptional people who really cares about the impacts of light & thinks theoretically on how to reduce its impacts. One of those people is Dr. Karolina M. Zielińska-Dąbkowska, responsible for the #ROLAN Manifesto (Responsible Outdoor Lighting At Night Manifesto). For those who deal with light at night, please read the manifesto.

I am a city person. I like living in a city and I have no desire to move somewhere rural, or worse, suburban. And clearly the best way to improve cities would be to remove cars. Safer streets, healthier air, less noise. But, when I think about what I regret the most about living in a city it's #LightPolution. I wish I could see the stars.
