About this episode
Megan Eaves-Egenes discusses the impact of light pollution on our ability to experience natural darkness and the stars.
Megan Eaves-Egenes is a Lowell Thomas Award-winning travel writer whose work explores the intersections of landscape, culture, and the natural world. A passionate advocate for dark skies, she is the editor of DarkSky International's Nightscape magazine and founded Dark Sky London, a community group focused on light pollution awareness. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Megan alerts us to our ever-brightening world. The proliferation of artificial lighting around the world has created so much light pollution that many of us can no longer see the Milky Way or experience the restful embrace of a natural night. As the dark becomes ever more elusive, it is a critical moment to stop, look up, and consider what we lose with the disappearing stars. https://meganeaves.com https://bookshop.org/p/books/nightfaring-in-search-of-the-disappearing-darkness-megan-eaves-egenes/5978221c68baf133?ean=9780306835360&next=t&next=t Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts…
