We're forgetting what darkness feels like
Original: We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
Light pollution from cities has grown so severe that genuine darkness is disappearing from most people's lives. A Guardian environment piece argues that without regulation of artificial lighting, natural night skies — and the experience of true darkness — are being lost to a generation. Readers are debating street lighting policy, health effects of never experiencing darkness, and what it means culturally to lose the night sky.
Why now: A widely shared environmental article about light pollution is prompting discussion of how urban lighting is erasing natural darkness.
