Less nocturnal Invertebrates means less larvae / caterpillars for birds to feed their young, which means bird populations drop.
Bats, moths (ex. luna moth, rosy maple moth, Cecropia silkmoth, and Promethea silkmoth), and fireflies also suffer.

By having all outdoor lïts be
- Hooded (only shine down)
- Amber Color (<3000 Kelvin)
- Low Intensity (~50 Lumens)
- On only when needed
(motion sensor / timer)
#BringBackTheStars by hooding your outdoor lïts so they only shine down, Amber lït bulbs (<3000 Kelvin), low intensity (~50 Lumens), and on only when you need it (timer/motion sensor). If everyone's outdoor lïts were this way, we would all have a view like this!
#BringBackTheStars with Hooded lights (only shine down), Amber bulbs (<3000 Kelvin), Low Intensity brightness (~50 Lumens), and only on when in use. If everyone did this, we all would enjoy a #NaturalNight full of stars!
We all could have a sky view like this if we are #NightSkyConscious and #BringBackTheStars / #NaturalNight with simple outdoor lighting approaches - Hood your lights so they only shine down, Amber Color (3000 Kelvin or less), 50 Lumens, and on only when in use. That's it. We just have to do it!
Yes, your outdoor lights, even in urban centers, negatively impact native species. The fix is an easy one. Outdoor lights should be hooded (only pointed down), Amber Color (3000 Kelvin or less), Low Intensity, and Timed (on only when used) #BringBackTheStars and #NaturalNight #Saegoah /|\
#BringBackTheStars and #NaturalNight
Cymru (Wales) now officially has two Darksky Communities! There is even book about Cymru's Night Skies "All Through The Night" by Dani Robertson /|\
A Sky filled with Stars can be a reality for every community, we just need to choose to do it!
All communities have the potential to #BringBackTheStars
Not only do you return the view of a natural wonder, you also rehabilitate the habitat of native nocturnal species!
"As of 2016, 80 per cent of North Americans could no longer glimpse the Milky Way. Since then, the night sky has doubled in brightness as a result of artificial lighting. Each year, the light pollution grows thicker, like smog."
All of us can help #BringBackTheStars

Happy Winter Solstice/Nox/Longest Nït*!
Make Seeing The Stars a topic for during these Longest of Nïts. Remote sites are not the only places you can #SeeTheStarrySkies. Simple changes in our outdoor lighting can #BringBackTheStars for everyone on Earth.

Light pollution is a serious problem in my area. #BringBackTheStars for sure!
Some good places to start the work to #BringBackTheStars 🌌
Wherever you are! 🌠
Birds & Wildlife: And if you need lights, let them be colored, not white.
Your town, like mine, might have Dark Sky ordinances on the books that aren't being enforced. Worthwhile & usually not much effort to take a look.
#BringBackTheStars: feels poetic.

Help #BringBackTheStars by changing your outdoor lights to #BeNightSkyConscious - Amber Lights (3000 Kelvin or less), Hooded (only shines down), and On Only When Needed (Timer/Motion Sensor). It really is that easy. All it takes is for everyone to do it so anyone, anywhere can see all the stars!
#BringBackTheStars by being Night Sky Conscious - By having all outdoor lighting be Amber (3,000 Kelvin or less), Shielded (hood so light only points down), and on a Timer/Motion Sensor. If everyone did this, we would all see the stars! It is that easy!
I have been promoting #BringBackTheStars #BeNightSkyConscious
for this subject. Especially since "darksky" is unfortunately also a porn tag 😰
Poster by International Dark Sky Week A night scene depicting five lamps of varying illumination. Above them on the far left reads, "Night sky blotted out by light pollution," and above the lamps on the far Right reads, "visible night sky" The five lamps from left to right are labeled: Unacceptable (a globe light - light in all directions), Very Bad (globe light with small cap - light shining upwards still), Bad (a light with cap and 90 degree light beams - not shining up, but still into eyes), Better (fully shielded - only shining down and not into eyes), best (timer or motion sensor light). In addition to this info graphic, any outdoor light should be at maximum a Correlated Color Temperature of 3000K.
