Light pollution might be a unknown to the most of people. Only 9/10 people are not even aware of what
light pollution is. Even we ourselves were not aware of this but after working on this project it was an eye opener for us all. Basically, light pollution refers to the artificial lighting at night. We have become so dependent on night lighting that we do not even notice it effects on our daily lives. For example, look at the sky at night and see if you can find the milky way with your naked eye? Probably not. Well, you 'll have a hard time finding stars alone if you're in a big city. Its not only about vision, but our health is affected as well and not only us but other beings sharing this world with us as well. Ever heard of Circadian Rhythm? Well, time to look it up. What if I say that the disruption of the Circadian rhythm can lead to Cancer. Many nocturnal animals are going extinct because of this and plants, our basic source of oxygen, are also being affected. Yes, plants need dark as well. Surprised? Our world is facing a big almost invisible problem, and if i knew any better we are just adding fuel to fire. We are not asking you to do anything big, just to, perhaps, turn off extra lights, take care using night lights etc and small things they may be but big changes can they make.
