Advocacy Hour: Protecting our Night Skies
April 10 @ 5:00 pm
In the natural environment, we take the day-night cycle for granted. But human activities have altered our reality. Increasingly, the deep dark of night is muddied by artificial illumination. Yes, our 24/7 society requires a certain amount of light at night for safety and security. But the light pollution it creates represents a threat to nocturnal habitats, disrupts our circadian balance, wastes energy, and robs us of enjoying the night sky’s glorious canopy of stars. DarkSky Mass will speak more about this issue and solutions, including Massachusetts legislation (S.2102 / H.3164) that, if enacted, would provide a crucial first step in combating light pollution throughout the Commonwealth.
