We're forgetting what darkness feels like
Original: We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
A Guardian environment feature argues that light pollution from cities is erasing natural darkness, leaving most people unable to see the night sky as previous generations did. The piece examines how urban lighting regulations could restore dark skies, and why the loss of night matters for wildlife, human health and our sense of the natural world. Readers are debating whether stronger rules on artificial lighting are realistic or already overdue.
Why now: Growing concern about light pollution and city lighting regulation has renewed attention on the loss of natural night skies.
