Our night sky is a precious natural resource, but it's fading due to increasing light pollution, which has been growing by about 10% each year since 2011. This presentation will explore the different types of light pollution, its harmful effects on the environment and human health, and practical steps we can take to protect the night sky. Suggested book: The Darkness Manifesto by Johan Eklof.
