often not from renewable sources and contribute to the carbon dioxide emissions causing climate change and that's not the only negative impact what can we do to combat light. let's take a deeper look at this problem i have never ever seen anything like this obviously you have a very real this is a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. in 1904 los angeles was hit by a strong earthquake it caused chaos on the streets and a blackout you see as you look out your window is probably fishguard right now during the blackout many people called observatories and even 911 not because the earth was shaking but because they saw a giant silvery cloud in the sky that cloud was in fact the milky way countless stars they had never seen before 'd you maybe haven't heard much about it yet but light pollution doesn't really consume stars it seriously affects our health and the environment. turns a proportional changes. the world the introduction of this late into the night is

one of the most dramatic changes that we made to the players here. this is because of the research is artificial light emissions from cities and their impact today more than 80 percent of the world's population is no longer experience dark skies. for example nights are so bright in singapore that people can't adapt their vision for darkness today scientists are warning of the dangers of artificial light at night. it didn't look like me. and that's when i decided it was us maybe. this is nina's desire activists in india his goal reduce night by scientists now consider artificial light at night a form of pollution. free of your tired development of. multicellular organisms plants and animals that vertebrates mammals and primates and humans very death hold ready her there was this constant thing that was coming

from the environment this is the time this is not a time this is the. air in the areas that have experienced drugs like pollution that signal is perfect the dream has been dramatic we create. industry as a shadow over the past century has led to assertion artificial illumination so we see that most countries in the world are becoming brighter this is accelerated in recent decades particularly in asian cities all violent dots on this map show new light sources installed in india between 20122016 there are various components of light pollution there's clear that's when extremely bright like causes which will discomfort. and clutter imitating groups of pride lights. like trees pass when night falls with not needed or wanted and sky glow when artificial light

of chip workers have indicated that exposure to light at night could increase the risk of breast cancer but why there is a hormone. that are brain makes called militant in which variables as a signal of darkness. when we don't get that hormone when we don't produce that hormone because we're exposed to so much later apartment or the shift worker. then the whole working of this whole biological system becomes problematic. sleep digestion and blood pressure are regulated by this biological clock. the problem is not only brightness but also. blue lights from phone displays screens and is similar to daylight while lights in general can suppress the production of melatonin blue light from screens and a disk can do so more strongly that's why experts at harvard recommend not using bright screens or any delights for 2 to 3 hours before going to bed or switching to

study found that where there's nighttime lighting trees but earlier and lose their lives later than elsewhere all these various of facts on different creatures and plans together affect the environment as a whole. the day of your skin may be humph because. others may. be sprayed and it's disturbs. great relations. changes because it's with cheaper and more efficient light sources the world is getting brighter every year the international dock. sky association estimates that one 3rd of all outdoor lighting in the u.s. is wasted fulfilling no purpose. as fossil fuels are still the main source of energy this contributes quite unnecessarily to air pollution and climate change so what can we do as individuals it might sound obvious but turn on lights only when
10:45 am
and where you need it and then turn it off again. that a motion sensor turns on and off or you use lamp shades for instance to block unwanted stray lights use lights with a warmer tone they can be just as efficient and a lot of intensity when possible dimming is the magic word here. entire cities even entire countries can adopt such solutions france for example has banned sky beams and in some places said times when lights in public spaces have to be dimmed or switched off as well as keeping the brightness of lamps and ecological the sensitive areas. i'm afraid that people will be amazed this is a serious issue. and you know if we let me be a lot of. nation that's. like. after protests from citizens like militia. by politicians have signaled their country to sing like

else or give uprooting reindeer everyone in the chilly little town of sala in northern finland hopes there is a future for them here. but without the summer olympics. one of the biggest impacts we're having as humans is for burning of fossil fuels particularly cool in germany the government has promised to phase out the use of this pollutant by 28 but then comes the question what will happen to the cool lights well so enthusiastic and badminton is so already providing us with an answer let's take a look. at one step closer to extinction opencast mines in germany the 7 machines here in the east will stop extracting brown coal in 2023 for decades the digging in your energy supplies and jobs but it's also a dirty business the main contributor to c o 2 missions and
