Below is an explanation of measures you can take to combat light pollution.

COMBATING THE EFFECTS ON OUR SLEEP

Turn off lights

Turning off or covering any lights, whether it be emitting from your alarm clock, your fan, or your phone, are simple and easy ways to better your sleep and to ensure you wake up well-rested. When in the pitch dark, the smallest intensity of light can brighten your sleeping environment and reduce the quality of your sleep. Stopping light from leaking into your home's bedrooms at night contributes to the well-being of you and your loved ones by allowing them greater potential to be energetic and happy during the day.

Talk to business owners and community leaders

To help out the peoples and animals hurt by light pollution, we encourage you to talk to local businesses and community leaders to bring upon change. Businesses can change turn off all their lights at night and organize their lights to be mindful of how much light leaks into the night sky. By working with community leaders, changes can take place across larger areas by introducing new changes and regulations. For instance, cones that direct light can be installed to street lights to reduce the light leakage while keeping nightly drivers and pedestrians safe.
