Join us as we learn how excessive artificial light harms people and wildlife while gathering tips for softening and reducing such lighting.
This program will detail how excessive use of bright lighting leads to light pollution and an absence of dark skies. Light pollution affects not only our health and well-being, but wildlife as well. Bird safety will be highlighted as an example. Tips to soften and lessen lighting and the benefits of such will be given.
Our speaker Debbie Barrett is a psychologist by day and lover and caretaker of all living things and sentient beings. A lifelong learner, Debbie will share what she has learned about light pollution and dark skies and how we can be better caretakers of the planet by returning to the dark.
Our July 6, 2026 General Meeting will follow the presentation.
Schedule for the evening:
6:30 Social Time - Enjoy visiting with our friendly members.
7:00 Program – Debbie Barrett presents “Light Pollution- The Impact and Effects of Overuse of Artificial Lighting”
8:00 Darien Garden Club's General Meeting - Find out all about DGC and the activities available to our members.
