Remember when you could see with your naked eye- thousands of stars, the Milky Way, our galaxy, planets and the man in the moon? On April 2, at 6:45 p.m. the AAUW Wheaton-Glen Ellyn Branch will host Save Our Night Skies at its April Branch Meeting. After a brief social time with refreshments, the presentation will begin. Guests are welcome to join us.

Our speaker will be Adam Kreuzer, lawyer, Board Delegate, and member of the International Dark Sky Association. Artificial light at night has revolutionized the way we live and work outdoors, but it has come at a price. When used indiscriminately, outdoor lighting has had devastating effects by disrupting wildlife, impacting human health, wasting money and energy, and contributing to climate change. Join Adam Kreuzer as he discusses the consequences of outdoor light pollution and what we can do to preserve our natural night skies. This program will focus on how light pollution adversely affects migrating birds, our other wildlife friends and what we can do to help save them from the consequences of light pollution. Light pollution may also affect our personal health.

Guests are welcome, in person or via Zoom. To attend the meeting via Zoom, please send an email to wge-aauw@comcast.net. Include your full name and email address. The Zoom link will be emailed to you on the day before the event. More information about the AAUW Wheaton-Glen Ellyn Branch can be found at https://wheatonglenellyn-il.aa....
