Starlit Skies talks about Light Pollution

Why?

Light pollution is endemic wherever people gather and don't consider the consequences of their actions... just trying to solve a problem but doing so in the wrong way. Bad planning and design lead to:

Wasting the planet's resources
Altering the behaviour of wildlife
Disrupting sleep and development
Impacting mental health
Hiding the Universe from curious minds
