Light pollution is not only a problem for stargazers and nature enthusiasts, but it also has a significant impact on energy waste. When artificial light is directed upwards, it illuminates the sky instead of the intended target, wasting energy and contributing to climate change. This not only increases energy costs, but also results in increased greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmental issue that should be taken seriously. In addition to the environmental impact, light pollution also has an impact on the economy. The excess energy used to produce the unwanted light is money that could be saved and put towards other important initiatives. It’s important to consider how much energy is being wasted due to light pollution, and to implement measures to reduce this waste.
My love for astronomy drives me to make a positive impact and I am dedicated to continuing this journey.
I hope that my efforts will inspire others to join the cause and work towards protecting our dark skies for future generations to enjoy.
