International Dark Sky Week is a worldwide celebration night to build awareness about the harmful effects of light pollution and the importance of the global night-time environment.
Join the Munster Conservancy for their night sky awareness programme and turn off your lights until April 25.
Switch off your outside lights between 18:00 and 20:00 every evening and experience the night with all your senses.
This initiative celebrates the beauty of the night sky and promotes awareness about light pollution.
It’s a global initiative encouraging people to disconnect from artificial light and connect with the natural world.
Scientific evidence suggests that artificial light at night has negative and deadly effects on many creatures, including amphibians, birds, mammals and insects.
It also wastes money and energy, contributes to climate change and blocks the view of the universe.
