StopJunkLight

Stop Junk Light Day is Sept 10th! Here to help you thrive in a brightly-lit world. A @TrueDark initiative. #StopJunkLight 🚫💡

We are searching for analogies with respect to #lightpollution. What do you think about leaks? Nobody would accept leaky water tubes or hoses, or any other reservoir holding a liquid or gas. Yet, "leaky" lights causing light pollution do not seem to be an issue for most of us!

Let's be considerate of our #Neighbors by focusing Light ONLY where we need it.

Thanks to @Abc7Chicago for interviewing @Audubon_GL and @FPDCC experts about #FallMigration, types of birds you can see in the Great Lakes region and what you can do to help! #LightsOut https://t.co/A3n8F0jjpq

The moon and stars are a compass for nocturnal animals – but light pollution (skyglow) is leading them astray (via @ConversationUS): https://t.co/mS10YdSIW1

[The Global Ocean Artificial Light at Night Network @GOALANN]

New research published today from the @NERC funded ALICE project in @CurrentBiology. Artificial skyglow impacts celestial migration in intertidal animals that use the moon as a compass. https://t.co/UAX0WsHX5x
An itch finally scratched!

[Precision Lighting from Switzerland @LightingSwiss]

Today is the #internationaldayoflight . We should remember that almost all light on earth is daylight, and that the day needs the night: #darkness!
We must not destroy this darkness with artificial light. Please make sure that your lighting systems do not cause light pollution!

Ever wondered about the #circadian rhythms of Santa's helpers during the dark days of December 🎅? Entertaining read in the run-up to Christmas in @WildlifeMag on how reindeer maintain their internal clock even during total darkness. 🦌 #ScienceSunday https://t.co/cRdEB1xMvD

[DarkSky International @IDADarkSky]

Mexico has passed new legislation that makes #lightpollution subject to regulation under existing environmental laws. This is a historic event worldwide as it's the 1st instance of a country explicitly defining light pollution as an environmental pollutant https://t.co/kLvRqpF5xB

[Society for Research on Biological Rhythms @SRBR_Outreach]

Published in @guardian this week: #lightpollution is one of the key driving forces of insect decline, partly by altering daily & seasonal rhythms in behavior. Important #ScienceSunday read. #TimingIsEverything https://t.co/GlT4QsmieS

Many of us can't see the stars at night, and that's a big problem. Here's how cities and states are taking action. https://t.co/Mdi9xVc39Z via @HuffPostImpact

The first time many military service members get an unspoiled view of the stars is on a deployment overseas. The @nytimes collected accounts from troops who encountered the kind of natural beauty they never saw at home.
