Gardening Under the Stars: Saving Our Nocturnal Pollinators and Our Health
Learn about the ecological impacts of outdoor lighting and how you can reduce light pollution around your home.
After the sun sets, many important pollinating insects begin their night shift. A growing body of research suggests that the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting is causing serious harm to these nocturnal insects, migrating birds and other wildlife as well as our own health.
