5 Minutes for Earth - Un pódcast de Emilie Brown

Categorías:

This week we are chatting about light pollution with Bryce Canyon Rangers Paula and Gordon! Dark skies, animals effected, constellations, culture, and so much more! Learn about the dangerous effects light pollution has on the natural world and why dark skies are so important historically and culturally. Then find out all the ways you can help preserve dark skies and stop light pollution today. Can you imagine looking into the sky and not seeing any stars? People around the world are already living like that! The long list of effects on wildlife, culture and society is frankly a little disappointing when we have the power to make a really big difference on this issue with simple steps. Come learn with us, then make a charge for our skies, for our planet, and for our future.  -- Check out our website: https://sites.google.com/puhsd.us/p-h-s-environmental-club/home?authuser=0 Follow us on Instagram: @placer_environmental_club Sources for this episode: https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/impressive-ways-reduce-light-pollution.php https://www.globeatnight.org/light-pollution.php#:~:text=In%20disrupting%20ecosystems%2C%20light%20pollution,relations%2C%20and%20cause%20physiological%20harm. https://myfwc.com/conservation/you-conserve/lighting/pollution/#:~:text=Artificial%20light%20has%20several%20general,which%20exhausts%20and%20kills%20them. https://www.darksky.org/light-pollution/human-health/#:~:text=Humans%20evolved%20to%20the%20rhythms,cycle%20of%20day%20and%20night.&text=Research%20suggests%20that%20artificial%20light,diabetes%2C%20breast%20cancer%20and%20more.
