I got interest in Dark Skies out of a concern about excessive LED streelighting in my area, and sone evidence of effects on human health, including MY health. I also think darker skies would encourage people to stop living in fear of crime, which is still sometimes exaggerated, and of course, I love sharing all aspects of nature with new friends, including the stars.
