Did You Know?
Under some conditions, light pollution can be as harmful as air or water pollution. Unnecessary glare can blind motorists, infringe on a neighbors ability to sleep, disrupt the natural rhythms of nearby plants and animals, create relatively dark areas beyond the glare for criminal activity to hide in plain sight, disrupt the ability of amateur astronomers to view the night sky, and waste electricity. Floodlights are typically the worst offenders when it comes to light pollution, although older streetlights and parking lot lights can also be a contributing factor.
To combat light pollution, the Zoning Regulations require all new or replacement light fixtures to be full-cutoff or "dark sky compliant". Consider purchasing shields or replacing floodlights on your property to limit unnecessary glare from these worst offenders.
