.@solchroma produces vivid, dynamic, and reflective displays that don’t require an internal light source and consume only 1% of the energy of existing LED-based digital signage. #ClimatetechSummit
Scientists from #UF and the Imperial College of London have received a #NationalGeographic grant to study the effect of #lightpollution on night time pollinators. phys.org/news/2021-10-moths-…

You do not want to miss this moving video from @LukeKorns about his trip to Pakistan, where he met up with IDA Advocate @rayanstagram! They take an incredible journey to a naturally dark sky in northern Pakistan & experience it together for the first time.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuen7pF5…
Diane Turnshek, a Carnegie Mellon University Astronomer, has led an incredible effort against #lightpollution in Pittsburgh. Check out her 2015 #TEDx talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=-xSv33pr… and her work in Pittsburgh here: cmu.edu/news/stories/archive…
MA is the only NE state without outdoor lighting regulations, but NE's #lightpollution is growing at about 2x the national average. Help to make a difference by showing your support for the new bill here: chng.it/ZbHpYPZ9Fh & read about the bill here: malegislature.gov/Bills/192/…
The problem of #lightpollution is rapidly increasing, it's time to take this lesser known form of pollution seriously.
New research shows that #lightpollution has increased by at least 49% over 25 years globally. This figure only accounts for light visible via satellites. So, the true increase may be much higher – up to 270% globally, & 400% in some regions.

"Research continues to document the detrimental impacts that [#lightpollution] has on people and the environment. By reining in the use of...poorly designed outdoor lighting, we can lessen these impacts while saving energy costs and carbon emissions." facilityexecutive.com/2021/0…

If you’ve lost the Milky Way, or you’re even approaching that point, that means there’s a fair amount of light pollution in your environment. Here's a solution: malegislature.gov/Bills/192/… #savetheMilkyWay @IDADarkSky #lightpollution #ALAN #darkskies bostonglobe.com/2021/08/22/m…

The digital #signage of the future will look a lot more like the analog signs of the past – but the #displaytechonlogy behind it is revolutionary. Roger Diebold of @solchroma shares his vision with us.
