Saving the Dark
2018 · Film · documentary · 56 min
80% of the world's population can no longer see the Milky Way. What do we lose when we lose sight of the stars? Excessive and improper lighting robs us of our night skies, disrupts our sleep patterns and endangers nocturnal habitats. The current advances in LED technology have enabled several cities to safely light their streets and save energy without disrupting the nighttime environment. Saving the Dark explores the need to preserve dark night skies and what we can do to combat light pollution. Created in association with the International Dark-Sky Association.

If you are interested in light pollution there is a fantastic documentary I would recommend called "Saving the Dark" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fHxNn-FEnc
Light pollution seems to be the easiest type of pollution to fix
I would encourage anyone here to watch the documentary "Saving the Dark" [0]. It discusses light pollution and the pros/cons about the new LED lights.
