Over 80% of the world’s population & 99% of Americans & Europeans live under "sky glow," where light pollution affects wildlife, human health & our ability to observe celestial objects.

in reply to David Nash • • •I was in Tasmania last week & it served as a beautiful reminder of what’s really up there. I suspect if more of us could experience that, we’d remember our connection to the natural world & just maybe, we’d do more to protect it.
