It disrupts the biorhythms of humans, animals and plants, with serious effects on physical and mental health. Tens of thousands of insects die from light sources every night in summer," experts warn of the consequences of light pollution at night. The municipality of Weißensee has already taken action this year and turned off unnecessary light sources with the help of companies.
Draustadt also sets an example
Draustadt is also symbolically switching off many public lights from 10 p.m. on the occasion of today's "Earth Night". But it's not just today that the lights are going out, the city is strongly committed to darker nights. And some companies such as the EKZ Atrio, Neukauf, Rutar, Mömax, Media Markt, XXX Lutz and Skoda Lindner are doing away with their night-time advertising.
An information evening with experts will be held on September 16 (5.30 p.m.).
