[Citizen @George_Voros]

I will vote for the Ward 2 candidate and mayor that is going to address the growing problem of #lighpollution in the @cityofhamilton. The "lights are on but nobody is home" best reflects our current by-laws.

#Lightpollution from the Hamilton Tennis Club May 4, 2022 9 p.m.
I can't enjoy my balcony and have to close my curtains when these are on.
The larger community and environment also suffers.
This is wrong and needs to be addressed.

@cityofhamilton The flood lights from the Hamilton Tennis Club are a light nuisance that negatively impacts the environment and the quality of life for residents.

We and many other animals evolved under the influence of a light and dark cycle

The moment you disrupt that cycle through artificial means is one in which you begin to destroy human health

Going against Mother Nature’s circadian principles is a fools game

[Zaid K. Dahhaj @zaidkdahhaj]

Light pollution is a societal menace

Artificial light at night (ALAN):

• Disconnects us from the stars
• Ruins our mitochondria
• Creates chronic disease
• Harms other ecosystems & animals

@CameronKroetsch @AndreaHorwath @cityofhamilton What are the sports lighting standards for @cityofhamilton ?

Our neighbor has standards for sports lighting.
Thank you @cityburlington for respecting the community and environment !

@AndreaHorwath @CameronKroetsch
This is an egregious assault of #lightpollution on our community and environment from the Hamilton Tennis Club that the @cityofhamilton has yet to address.
The simple solution is to turn them off until the #LightTrespass is addressed. #HamOnt

[Citizen @George_Voros]

@CameronKroetsch @AndreaHorwath @cityofhamilton I have reached out to @ward1wilson in the past and they redirected me back to ward2. I will reach out with a formal letter in the future with the history on this... the @cityofhamilton needs to address #lightpollution in all of our communities. #HamOnt @AndreaHorwath @JoeyColeman

A tapestry of stars, once vivid and bright,
a celestial ballet once unfolded above, In the depths of night,
The symphony of the cosmos fades, drowned in the city's glow, in pursuit of light.

[. @climatejustice0]

Artificial light disrupts the natural sleep cycles of both humans and animals, leading to negative and potentially deadly consequences.

[Dani Robertson @DaniDarkSkies]

These went up 3 days ago, adjacent to a very sensitive ecological site. Obscenely powerful, super white and high Kelvin. Note the insects flocking into the light - most of these will have perished over night after failing to go about their normal life pollinating, mating etc 💡

[Citizen @George_Voros]

@jasonfarrhamont Floodlights continue to assault our communities with #lightpollution.
@cityofhamilton @HamiltonsMayor @jasonfarrhamont @ward1wilson
Can you make a public statement on what you will do to address this?
Our communities deserve better than this and you are responsible.

@JoeyColeman “Light pollution, especially glare, also poses safety and security risks particularly relating to pedestrian and driver safety and comfort levels, and crime. Overly bright and poorly designed lighting contributes to glare.”

This! No need for all-night, overly bright lighting! There are better options to both preserve our dark skies, maintain security and, yes, save electricity.

The @cityofhamilton is is in the dark when it comes to #lightpollution and is long over due for a change.
A bit of research on the subject can be very illuminating.
