Join us as we discuss light pollution in Baltimore and its effects on birds, bugs, and even you with Lights Out Baltimore and Dr. Clint Francis from the California Polytechnic State University. We’ll be touching on what light pollution in Baltimore looks like and how it impacts our local wildlife, namely the birds that migrate through the mid-Atlantic each year. Then, we’ll learn more about how light pollution is studied by researchers and gain more insight on the human health aspect of it before wrapping up with simple and easy ways you can help cut down on light pollution.
