Light pollution is a significant problem that affects human health, wildlife behavior, and our ability to observe stars. The excessive or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light contributes to light pollution, leading to issues like sky glow, light trespass, glare, and over-illumination. In this post we’ll talk about the effects of light pollution and how homeowners can do their part to help clear up the night sky.

💧Wetlands, water and life are inseparable. Wetlands not only hold most of our available fresh water, they improve its quality by naturally filtering pollutants, and provide a home for 40% of the species on our planet. For all life to thrive, urgent action is needed to protect wetlands and use water more sustainably to ensure there is enough for people and nature. #10thWorldWaterForum #WaterforSharedProsperity
