This isn't a horror movie set. It's a road in Denmark.
The streetlights are red to save the bats.
Bats can't see red light the way they see white or green light, so to them, it's essentially darkness.
White streetlights are one of the leading causes of bat decline in urban areas. Light-shy species avoid lit areas entirely, cutting them off from feeding grounds and migration routes.
Standard streetlights reduce bat activity by up to 90% in some species.
Denmark figured out a fix. So did the Netherlands. When they installed red LED streetlights along roads near bat colonies, bat activity returned to normal levels almost immediately.
The lights still work fine for humans. Drivers can see. Cyclists can navigate.
The only thing that changed is that the bats got their night back.

This is the big one guys. Please sign and share share share. Petition: Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership https://t.co/eUmnu2U0Kt
How do we bring water into public ownership? @Feargal_Sharkey explains on Channel 4 News tonight 👇🤩🤩🤩
He is backing the new petition from @windrushwasp.bsky.social calling for a referendum so the public can decide
82% of us support PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
The Government needs to realise more regulation won’t fix our broken water system.
We need to kick financial predators out & take it back into public control.
But don’t just take it from me. Listen to a sewage campaigner who inspired Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’.

unfortunately couldn’t make it to the National Emergency Briefing.
Would they consider having @MikeBernersLee
on #Leading please?
Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the UK threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity. #NEB2025
Our privatised water system is broken, and the next Water Bill could lock in more of the same.
If MPs don’t hear from us, water companies get their way again.
I’ve written to my MP. You can do the same in 2 minutes: https://t.co/caFDtYUk08
One year on and yellow rattle now grows across all 2 hectares of these @lpoolcouncil meadows!!
This important ecosystem engineer temporarily parasitises grasses, leaving more room for wildflowers to grow. Can’t wait to see these grasslands transform over the next few years 😍🌱

Nothing does the soul more good than the sound of running water, the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds and the smell of the forest. We should spend our lives in nature more often than at home in front of the computer or television.💚☘️🌿🌱🌲🌳🍀💚
