While doing research, we found important information of the following subtopics: 

  • Causes and consequences of light pollution 
  • Possible solutions for solving the issue of light pollution 
  • Sustainable development goals related to light pollution

REFLECTION

Earth day at berks is a wonderful event that provides great information and incentives for people to keep the earth clean! Earth Day provided people with insight on what lies within our environment such as animals, traditions, sediments, etc. Light pollution was our topic for research and we shared with others what they can do individually to help light pollution on earth today, people found it very helpful and interesting! We were able to work with the marketing committee at Earth day so we created posters to entice people to come to earth day!
