Steps to Reduce Light Pollution in Your Community
Reducing light pollution involves several strategic steps that communities can adopt to help reclaim the night sky. These include using shielded fixtures that direct light downward, choosing warm-colored LED bulbs, and implementing lighting curfews to minimize unnecessary illumination during the late hours.
Our initiatives at the North Carolina Chapter of Dark Sky International provide resources and guidance for local governments and individuals interested in making a difference. Together, through informed choices and collective action, we can preserve our natural nightscape for generations to come.
