Ever heard of light pollution? Sounds a bit like an oxymoron, doesn't it? I mean, light is supposed to chase away the dark, not create a mess. For centuries, we've been flipping the switch on artificial lights, thinking we're in some sort of modern fairy tale. But here's the catch: nature has been rocking the day-and-night cycle for millions of years, and our relentless glow is throwing a spanner in the works.

Join us at Dark Side of Light to uncover the mysteries behind this surprisingly sneaky form of pollution. We'll dive into the effects of our bright nights on everything from our sleep patterns to the critters in our backyards. Plus, you'll walk away with some handy tips to shine a little less brightly in the future. So come on down, and let's shed some light on light pollution without making your eyes water.
