We are forgetting what darkness feels like
Original: We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
The Guardian reports that artificial light from cities is erasing natural darkness, with light pollution now blotting out the night sky for a large share of the world's population. The piece argues that few people alive today have seen a truly dark sky, and calls for regulation of urban lighting to protect the night environment, human health and wildlife.
Why now: Light pollution is a growing environmental concern, and readers are reacting to the idea that natural darkness is becoming a lost experience.
