LIGHT POLLUTION AWARENESS
The effects of light pollution on how we see the night time skies are dramatic.
It is estimated that nearly 30% of outdoor lighting is wasted due to this poor design. In the United States alone, wasted lighting accounts for 1.7 million tons of carbon dioxide and $2.2 billion in wasted electricity each year.

Luminous pollution is caused by using outdoor lights when and where they are not necessary.
Unshielded light fixtures emit more than 50% of their light skyward or sideways.
