你能把灯关掉吗?(Could you turn off the lights?)
在国际黑暗天空周期间,考虑到全球83%的人口生活在轻度污染的天空下这一令人震惊的事实,我们认为自己有幸拥有这一壮观的夜景。不需要的人造光被归类为污染物,并已被证明具有有害的副作用。它不仅浪费金钱和能源,而且扰乱动植物,被认为会影响气候,阻碍我们对宇宙的看法。
原文:
During International Dark Sky Week, we're counting ourselves lucky to have this spectacular nighttime view, considering the astonishing fact that 83% of the global population lives under a light-polluted sky. Unneeded artificial light is classified as a pollutant and has been proven to have harmful side effects. Not only does it waste money and energy, but it also disrupts plants and animals, is believed to impact the climate, and blocks our view of the universe.
