Residents urged to take Dark Sky Week pledge

DUBAI ASTRONOMY GROUP HIGHLIGHTS LIGHT POLLUTION

- 

It is International Dark Sky Week and UAE residents have been urged to show their support to prevent the growing threat of light pollution.

The Dubai Astronomy Group (DAG) has called on its members and the wider group of residents to “show the world your support for dark skies and the protection of nighttime environments by linking your name to the cause.”

This is possible by taking the pledge of the website of the International Dark Sky Week, a global movement to raise awareness about the growing threat of light pollution and to remind us of something we are all born with: The right to experience a natural night sky.
