Economy

The economy of a country will not be devastated if light pollution continues to occur but nonetheless, resources are wasted that could be used elsewhere. The International Dark Sky Association estimated that the United states by itself wastes 1/3 of their resources annually with wasted energy. After three years, those resources could be used to power the nation for a whole extra year. In total the amount of resources wasted would own up to about two billion dollars. While the problems that light pollution cause on the economy aren't that great, it's still a problem that could be resolved.

Light Bulbs

A Small Change We Can Make

We all use light bulbs in our lives, it surrounds us wherever we go, whether it’s in our homes, schools, and public places. The invention of the electrical light bulb is one of mankind's most important inventions. However, the use of blue/white light bulbs at night harm the ecosystem. These white-ish lights are one of the main causes for light pollution. While these types of light are beneficial for you in the day, they aren't good for anybody at night. The types of light you should use at night are the more red/orange colored lights. These types of lights help reduce light pollution and help your health. One change we all can make is to maybe buy the light changing light bulbs that change based on the light outside, this way, it can be white light during the day, and orange-ish light at night.
