SKYGLOW Project

We're a group of local advocates from around Lake Superior, with our main base in Duluth, MN. (We're also an official chapter of the nonprofit International Dark-Skies Association, or "IDA.") Our goal is to spread awareness about light pollution because, oddly enough, light pollution is something that's hard to see until you know to see it.Reducing light pollution is something that benefitseveryone.It enhances human well-being and safety, creates funcitonal nocturnal environments, fosters astronomy, energy efficiency, and ecotourism, and makes our streets and communities more beautiful.You can read more about ourorganizationat our website.
