What is light pollution? Light pollution is the excessive use of outdoor artificial light and is generally recognized as a form of environmental pollution. Light pollution has many symptoms including “sky glow” which is the unnatural brightening of the night sky. It can have measurable effects on human health, wildlife, public safety, and energy security. Artificial light at night (ALAN) is the primary driver of light pollution. This includes outdoor lights that emit white light upward or sideways— including streetlights, electronic advertisements or billboards, sports lighting, and more. What is dark sky lighting? Dark sky lighting is a solution to light pollution, without eliminating outdoor ALAN altogether. According to Saving Our Stars, dark sky lighting is a way of lighting that helps keep the sky dark by fully shielding the light bulb on the top and sides so that the light is directed down rather than to the sides and up into the sky. It is amber in color rather than blue, green, or white. It is dimmed and no brighter than necessary, only used when needed, and often operates on timers or motion detectors.

How can you help? Dark sky lighting and light pollution-reducing strategies can be used at home! Some ways to implement dark sky lighting into your home include:
