Joshua Tree is a dark night sky park, but how do we keep these skies dark for future generations? Follow these simple steps to reduce your light pollution impacts:⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🌌Turn off all the lights in and outside your house when going to bed. This will not only conserve energy, but it will help keep skies dark.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🌠 Make sure your energy-saving lightbulbs are shielded down and not pointing up towards the sky. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🌟 Continue the conversation: talk to friends, family, and your social media followers to encourage your network to take steps in reducing their impacts. One conversation could go a long way!⠀⁣
⠀⁣
What are other ways you are reducing your light pollution impacts? ⠀⁣
