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
