Show transcript
Light pollution is the presence of too much or unnecessary light made by humans. Light pollution can disrupt human sleep and wildlife patterns. Urban areas with greater populations create more light pollution. Some rural areas in the UK are named ‘Dark Sky’ sites, where their light pollution is low. Some organisations are campaigning to tackle light pollution and improve the night sky for people and wildlife.
