The British Astronomical Association's Commission for Dark Skies (britastro.org/dark-skies) supports the APPGDarkSkies. We need to regain the natural night for all Earth's life through star-quality lighting. The existence of the APPGDark Skies is a big step towards this.

Come to our free online event TOMORROW: How to save the stars! With the UK's foremost light-pollution campaigner, and astronomer, Bob Mizon MBE. facebook.com/CampaignforDar…

Our free hour-long talk shows why combatting #lightpollution is so important for #biodiversity, #energyefficiency and saving taxpayer £££. #astronomy #darkskies Website: britastro.org/dark-skies/ youtube.com/watch?v=20Sf5N…

Ahead of #COP26, please read and share our leaflet "Light Pollution and Health". Light pollution wastes BILLIONS in energy every year, and particularly due to new blue-rich light, is a direct contributor to #biodiversity loss. #climatechange #lightpollution Read more:

#COP26 begins TODAY! Fixing #lightpollution would be a quick win for the fight against #ClimateEmergency, government debt, worsening public health and #biodiversitycrisis. Light pollution wastes BILLIONS in energy every year, directly harming wildlife + humans. Support our work!

Is Government serious about climate change? One contribution towards tackling climate change is to control wasteful lighting. We need light at night, but only when and where required. Positive action on light pollution will show that government cares. #USELIGHTWISELY #COP26

🚨We need a massive awareness campaign for energy demand reduction🚨 Not just ‘drive less’…e.g. we spend BILLIONS £/$/€ a year creating light pollution. We could solve huge spend/energy/biodiversity problems by *literally tweaking the angle* of streetlights/“security” lights.
