In article , the light pollution affect human and animals physical health. For example , I can sleep very well because so many light in the city. The night is as bright as the day. It affect my spirit that I don’t have good state to study in the school. Another serious problem is animal habitats destroyed.

Lot of bird are affected by the light at night.

I think the light pollution will hurt the wild animals. Firstly, lot of bright is affect their lifestyle habits. Secondly, it is affect animals night life. So the light pollution hurt the wild animals’ healthy.

Firstly, I suggest government can use blacked-out streetlights. It can reduce light shining everywhere. It is a good way to reduce light pollution. Another advice is that timing tun off street lights. In the midnight, no many people in the street, so I think it not need opean the street lights. It can reduce the light pollution and save energy.

After I read the article,I realised that Light pollution can affect human health and wildlife .Some people say people who live in areas with more intense light are more likely to sleep less than six hours a night. Author said the strong light pollution maybe causes people healthier . It is also affect wild animals. For example,light disrupts the breeding cycles of birds. As my experience, when I was a child,my family and I went to the village .There were many fireflies in past,but now it is difficult to see them. Maybe the sky is too bright.

I worry about light pollution It is a big problem in Hong Kong. I am worried about whether the animals on the roadside will be scared，because the light pollution is affecting them,so we should be take an action.

I think the government should switch off some unnecessary lights. This can save money on electricity and also help protect the animals. For example, the government can encourage people to turn off lights at home when they are not needed. Also, it can make a rule for shops to switch off their bright advertising logo on midnight. Let's protect animals together

1. Light pollution can disrupt sleep and excessive artificial light disrupts the breeding cycles of fireflies and birds. Predators such as bats and frogs may also struggle to hunt for food under bright lights. And insects can be drawn to and disoriented by street lights that lack proper shielding

2. I think many people might forget about the light pollution,because many people will open the light all day ,but I think the light pollution not only affect humans health but also affect the animals,but the animals are originally live in earth and they did not harm the environment but they will also be affect by the light pollution it is very poor.

3. I think the government can make more about preventing light pollution activities such as advertisement.This can help the people to know the importance light pollution that have causing us and teach the people what to do to avoid pollution.

The article explains that light pollution can affect our sleep and wildlife like birds and bat health.I have experienced by myself. When I sleep, the bright streetlight outside my window often makes it hate to fall asleep.

According to the article, areas with strong sunlight are more prone to sleep deprivation. Long-term sleep deprivation can increase the risk of dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Furthermore, poor sleep quality can also affect our learning and work.

Light pollution not only affects humans but also wildlife. The article says that insects are attracted to streetlights that lack proper shielding and become disoriented. This has a significant impact on the ecosystem.

First,I suggest that the government can adopt shaded or blacked-out streetlights, which can focus the light on the ground. This will reduce the light from shining everywhere and reduce "glare".Second, the government can turn off street lights at regular intervals. For example, in the middle of the night when there are not many people around, most street lights can be turned off, leaving only essential lighting. This can reduce energy consumption.

First ,the article mentions that light pollution can make human sleep deprivation ,increasing risks of illness , affecting wildlife ,such as bats and frogs may also struggle to hunt for food under bright lights. I have experienced deeply, the street lights under my house is on all night, which often makes me difficult to fall asleep. And nowadays,it’s almost impossible to see the stars in the city.

Im truly upset by the light pollution is harming our community and wild animals. Maybe there used to be fireflies in the park, but because of too many lights, they all disappeared.this is not a distant problem,but also really happened around us. I think government should take action. Laws can be made to require street lamp must install hood to concentrate all the lights on to the ground. In the meantime,publicity activities should also be held to encourage everyone’s awareness of reducing unnecessary light.

Light pollution will let us sleep less than six hours a night,chronic poor sleep can increase the risk of dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity.Moreover,about the animals, made problem affects the ecosystem, excessive artificial light disrupts the breeding cycles of fireflies and birds.Causing the light pollution,I always sleep less than six hours too,therefore,I will feel sleepy the next day.

I feel upset of the wild animals ,it may break their habits,in my community, have quite a lot of street cats, effect by their habits,cats always find  some food at night, some of the street cats may going find some food at night,but effect of light pollution, like road lights and car headlights, shining at light , it may be difficult for them to find food.

I think the government should promote the harm of light pollution to humans and animals, post some promotional billing and organize location games about light pollution to warn people about light pollution, or increase the cost of electricity to reduce light use,I believe that may reduce light pollution and reduce the problem about light pollution .

Light pollution affects human health and wildlife. The article mentions that there are many effect of light pollution on humans and animals, low quality of sleep, impacts on ability to function, increased risks of any disease and disrupted reproductive cycles, disoriented by street lights, struggle of hunting under bright light respectively. I can definitely sense its impact on us. I am always sleeplessness because of the light on the street which causes me feel tired any time. Also, light pollution has caused a decline in my eyesight.

I am worried about the influence of light pollution. It not only affects us, but also animals. This represents that ecosystem would become worse because of light pollution, even facing extinction.

For this issue, government should make a new laws about street light, such as roadside lights need to be turned off at a specific time like 12:00 am and 3:00 am, these few people spend very little time engaging in outdoor activities.

In terms of human beings, light pollution disturbs our sleep quality. If we sleep less than 6 hours a night, low-quality sleep makes our physical function poor. My sleep is usually affected by light pollution, because the light on the street makes me unable to sleep. In terms of wild animals, light pollution affects the reproductive cycle of organisms and disrupts the direction of food search.

I think the community ignores light pollution, which is not only harmful to human beings but also has a negative impact on wild animals. Society should protect the natural light environment to maintain biodiversity and ecological balance. Many animals rely on natural light to live, such as reproduction and feeding. Light pollution will disturb these rhythms and affect the survival and reproduction of animals.

The government can hold some educational activities on the impact of light pollution on humans and living things, such as stalls and lectures. It can raise people's awareness of the negative impact of light pollution. Establish relevant laws and standards for light pollution to restrict the use of excessive lighting and unnecessary night lights.

Light pollution can affect human health and wildlife, also disrupt sleep. When the light from the streets can spill into home, it is more likely to wake up feeling confused at night. This may cause chronic poor sleep and increase the risk of dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Due to the study, people who living with more intense light is more likely to have low-quality rest. I have an experience on this, the strong light keep shining into my eye. It was quite disturbing and also affected my sleep quality that day.

I feel poor and sorry for the affected organisms. Because of the human activity, we produce a lot of light pollution, this makes it difficult for them to find food and affects their habitat and reproduction, for example bats and frogs. At the same time, it create trouble for their ecological cycle.

I would like to suggest that the government set up some regulations to regulate lighting , such as not turning on lights for advertisement or dim the streetlight during midnight. At the same time, education to the public about light pollution so that they can play more attention to light pollution and reduce it production. Promoting some activities for getting more knowledge about it and it’s affect.

Light pollution badly affects humans and wildlife. The article says it spoils our chance to see the night sky, messes up sleep, and long-term bad sleep makes us more likely to get sick. Once I went to the market with Mom—there were lots of red and white lights at the fish stalls. I felt dizzy, saw double, and even fainted. That’s when I knew bright light is harmful.

For wildlife, bright lights upset fireflies’ and birds’ breeding. I used to see geckos on my way home at night—they’d stay near walls, waiting to catch bugs. But now the streetlights are brighter, and I hardly see geckos anymore. What’s strange is that even with these bright lights, I can still see those scary cockroaches crawling around. It makes me wonder why bright lights affect geckos so much but seem to do nothing to cockroaches. I’m more worried about the geckos now.

I think the government should do something. We can turn off unnecessary lights, but streetlights and sidewalk lights must stay on—they keep us safe. Also, tell more people about light pollution. Let’s care about this, so we sleep better and wildlife lives well.

Actually,I haven't realized that our beautiful light in the evening can make such a big effect on the animals before I read this article.And I feel really sorry about that.Me and most of my friends are animal lovers,and we are attaching great importance to their protection.

Just like what's talking about in the article,I support the government in promoting the Proper shielding,in order to decrese the light pollution.Besides,publish new law which is about the light limit is also a great way for light pollution reducing.I hope the HK Government can focus on this problem.

Light pollution has a significant impact on both human health and wildlife. For me, excessive light affects my sleep, leading to decreased sleep quality, lack of energy, and emotional issues.

Additionally, artificial light can disorient birds and insects, causing abnormal behaviors and even affecting their reproduction.

I believe the government should enact new laws to limit excessive lighting. Public awareness campaigns could also be launched to educate people about the dangers of light pollution and its effects on both humans and animals.

The article tells us that Light pollution can affect human health and wildlife. Such as disruption sleep, particularly in densely populated areas, because of the streets can spill into home. The outdoor night really bright and let me difficulty sleep. Chronic poor sleep not only affects your ability to function, but also increase the risk of diabetes and obesity.

For wildlife, Excessive artificial light disrupts the breeding cycles of fireflies and birds. Bats and frogs may also struggle to hunt for food under bight lights. And insects can be drawn to and disoriented by street lights.

I think the light pollution is more serious than before. It also affect the ecological environment.

I think the government should build some policy. Such as after 12pm at night should not open bright lamp. The office should close before 12pm and close the light, which can decrease the light pollution also can save energy.

Light pollution impairs our ability to see the night sky. "It can disrupt sleep, particularly in densely populated areas like Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, where light from the streets can spill into homes,"According to the American Academy of Neurology, people who live in areas with more intense light are more likely to sleep less than six hours a night. Chronic poor sleep can increase the risk of dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Low-quality rest also affects your ability to function.

Light pollution is not only an issue for humans. The man-made problem affects the ecosystem, especially nocturnal animals.

Excessive artificial light disrupts the breeding cycles of fireflies and birds. Predators such as bats and frogs may also struggle to hunt for food under bright lights. And insects can be drawn to and disoriented by street lights that lack proper shielding.

Proper shielding is a design feature on a street light

that focuses the light on the ground.

The government should organize some activities to publicize the harm of light pollution to humans and organisms or make some new laws, such as making a new law that no lights can be turned on after 10 pm.

Light pollution is bad for both people and animals. The article points out that it ruins our sleep and makes us more likely to get sick, and it also confuses animals like birds and bugs. Once, I couldn’t pay attention in class because the bright lights near my home made me sleep badly.

I feel sad about the animals in my community. In my experience,I saw many moths flying around a super bright street light and couldn’t fly away. It made me realize how light pollution really hurts them. I hope these little creatures can live happily without such trouble.

I think the government should make rules to limit unneeded outdoor lights and tell people about light pollution through campaigns. For example, telling people to use shielded lights and turn off lights that aren’t necessary at night can help a lot. Therefore,everyone should work together to fight light pollution.

I think light pollution is a serious problem that affects both humans and wildlife. The article explains that to much light at night can affect our sleep.I have experienced of myself, with the bright lights outside my window often keeping me awake. This can lead to health problems, such as lack of sleep that prevents me from focus in class.

Furthermore, light pollution has a serious impact on animals. The article mentions that light pollution can affect the reproduction of fireflies and the hunting of birds. I used to see many birds outside my window, but now the number of birds has decreased .I feel helpless when I think about how they might be difficult to live because of the light.

To reduce light pollution, I believe the government should recommend new streetlight rule , such as encouraging everyone to turn off unnecessary lights at night. This would both reduce light pollution and protect wildlife. Furthermore, publicity activities can help more people to understand the seriousness of light pollution and help reduce it.

Light pollution can affect human health and wild animals. As it mentioned that can disrupt sleep since the light on the street is able to spill into your home at night. Therefore, it’s more likely to be lack of sleep, according to the researchers, the time spent on sleeping might less than 6hours a night. It also leads a lot of healthy issues, such as, heart disease, dementia and so on. It not only affects human life, but also harm to the ecosystem, especially nocturnal animals. It disrupts the feeding cycle for birds and fireflies. For predators, such as frogs, it is challenging for them to find food or hurt under bright light. All in all, the over-bright streetlights have become common problems in many cities over the world.

I feel worried about wild animals, because the light pollution still affects their life and impacts their normal survival. I concern about them as well, I sincerely hope pollution could be reduced and return them a healthier and cleaner home.

I think the government can lower the brightness of streetlights. They are necessary to educate public about pollution reducing and also set the policy of it.

Light pollution seriously affect both human health and wildlife. The article mentions that light pollution impairs our ability to see the light sky,disrupts sleep and the chronic poor sleep can increase the risk of diseases of people.I can relate to the constant glow from streetlights and buildings near my home,it often makes me hard to sleep deeply.The bright lights not only disrupts the breeding cycles of fireflies and birds.But also struggles hunt the predators such as bats and frogs for food . And insects can be drawn to and disoriented by street lights that lack proper shielding.

Learning that light pollution,it made me more aware that the impact of wildlife in my own community. I am worry about that the man-made problem affect local ecosystems without most people even noticing the severity of this issue .It will pose a survival challenges to them,especially nocturnal animals.

I believe the government should introduce strict measures on outdoor lighting, such as requiring proper shielded streetlights and doing more works to raise awareness of the problems. Such a simple step, like turning off the non-essential lights for one hour. It could show that change is possible when everyone works together.

The article mentions light pollution can disrupt sleep, such as light from the streets can spill into home. Poor sleep lead different diseases like increase the risk of dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. I once couldn’t sleep long time because light from the streets. It made me feel very tried and couldn’t focus attention the next day.

Also, lights pollution disrupts the breeding cycles of fireflies and birds. Predators such as bats and frogs may also struggle to hunt for food under bright lights. I feel regret for wildlife. Because lights pollution is impact fertility of wildlife, they even will death if serious.

Government should promote more lectures or activities about reduce lights. Also can draw up laws. For example use lights for long time within a period of time, then the people need to fine. I think take these actions can let people reduce waste the lights energy.
