Being able to see thousands of stars was part of everyday life, inspiring artists like Van Gogh or musical composers like Holst or writers like Shakespeare. By allowing artificial lights to wash out our starry night skies, we are losing touch with our cultural heritage ]]> 2017-04-11 15:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165915230 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165916561 In disrupting ecosystems, light pollution poses a serious threat in particular to nocturnal wildlife, having negative impacts on plant and animal physiology. It can confuse the migratory patterns of animals, alter competitive interactions of animals, change predator-prey relations, and cause physiological harm. ]]> 2017-04-11 15:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165916561 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165919843 2017-04-11 16:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165919843 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165923485 Light pollution is a broad term that refers to multiple problems, all of which are caused by inefficient, unappealing, or (arguably) unnecessary use of artificial light.
Light trespass occurs when unwanted light enters one's property, for instance, by shining over a neighbor's fence]]> 2017-04-11 16:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165923485 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165926138 2017-04-11 16:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/165926138 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/166560154 2017-04-17 14:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/166560154 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/166563139 s excessive, misdirected, or obtrusive artificial (usually outdoor) light. Too much light pollution has consequences: it washes out starlight in the night sky, interferes with astronomical research, disrupts ecosystems, has adverse health effects and wastes energy. ]]> 2017-04-17 15:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/166563139 kamar_dris_ahmed https://padlet.com/kamar_dris_ahmed/8zzbyqwog4m0/wish/166566309
