Downtown LA with Light Pollution

What is Light Pollution?

Downtown Los Angeles, CA

Light pollution is the artificial modification of natural outdoor light levels caused by human activities.

What are the Effects of Light Pollution?

Light pollution adversely affects wildlife, undermines human health, results in unnecessary expenditure and energy consumption, contributes to climate change, and obstructs our view of the Universe.

Adhering to responsible lighting practices, enacting legislation supportive of dark skies, and promoting scientific research are among the avenues to address light pollution. Your participation can also make a difference!
