This is one of seven excerpts from a presentation by Marc Deshowitz, Preserving one of our most precious resources… the night sky. This video dispels the commonly held belief that more light means more safety, not only through practical examples but also from actual research.
We will post another video excerpt from Marc’s presentation soon. Here are the titles of the seven video excerpts:
- Are we losing our heritage of dark skies?
- The hidden danger in white light: Blue
- More light doesn’t mean more safe
- How light pollution increases air pollutione
- Outdoor lighting harms nature and crops
- Simple outdoor retrofit examples
- What you can do to improve outdoor lighting
Let us know if this Initiative is important to you, if you are willing to get involved, and what else you think we should be doing to improve, preserve, and protect dark skies in Ivins. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
