GLOBE at Night Telecon January 20th: Mobilize your community to address light pollution!
One-third of outdoor lighting escapes unused into space. Such over-illumination incurs substantial costs, has consequences to energy consumption, human health and the habits and habitats of wildlife.

Join us on January 20th, 6 pm Pacific (9 pm Eastern) when Dr. Connie Walker of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory discusses ways you can interest others in your community to seek local solutions to the global problem of light pollution.
