Darkness Matters: Light Pollution's Threats and Simple Ways to Help

Summary Darkness is a vital, and often overlooked, component of our ecosystems. Unfortunately, we're losing it to light pollution. Decreasing the light pollution around your home will not only benefit the environment but will also benefit you because you'll be able to see better without all the excess glare and will save money because you aren't paying to light up the sky. 3 things you'll learn from this episode:
  • Why darkness is so important.
  • What light pollution is and how prevalent it is.
  • 4 simple ways you can combat light pollution around your home.

Because while there's lots of great "big picture" information available about creating pollinator gardens or larger habitats for pollinators and wildlife. There are far fewer opportunities to say, "This is what I want to do. This is what I'm struggling with. How do I make it work on my property?"
