Humans and other animals need darkness. With the support of advocates including the Museum of Science, a bill that would regulate light pollution gained momentum in the Massachusetts legislature this session. I grew up in Tucson, a city on the cutting edge of lighting ordinances due to its strong astronomy presence, and I'm a space nerd, so I've always had a personal passion for this issue. But the environmental and health impacts of bad lighting are huge. Boston will never be as dark as rural New Hampshire, but small changes across the state like pointing lights downward and limiting blue light (it's everywhere!) can make a big difference for ecosystems and human well-being. And it can make life more fun! How many of us wished the bill had passed when the aurora borealis appeared in New England in May?
