We aim to make progress Toward Responsible Outdoor Lighting. We want outdoor lighting that reduces our impacts on the environment and the people, while still providing sufficient light to meet the needs of the people. New lighting technologies and a better understanding of the impacts of lighting on human and non-human animals open pathways to responsible lighting.
Join us if you are concerned about the rapid reduction of insects and birds. You may also be concerned about our disconnect from dark nights with a beautiful sky covered with stars or enchanting moonlit nights and the impacts this disconnect may have on our feelings and world view.
[Jun 04, 2026] ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: This is what the Global Justice Report published today makes very clear. Read the article by Jonathan Watts in the Guardian as an introduction. While this equal and habitable world is still possible, it is very unlikely that we will transition to this world as long as greedy and unethical billionaires supported by governments they own compete to be the first trillionaire. The report underlines that the fight for an equal and habitable world has to be a fight against a system that rewards extraction and depletion of all resources and requires infinitely growing consumption devouring the Earth's life-support system; a system designed to increase inequality and sustain the exploitation of almost all to serve the greed of a few!
