Was an Dunkelheit so schön und wichtig ist

What is so beautiful and important about darkness

🔦 Bringing light into the dark? - Not always a good idea. On the beauty of the starry night sky and the negative consequences of too much light (pollution)

🏙️ Light at night is an expression of our need for security, aesthetic sensibilities and increasing prosperity: where more is created, delivered and consumed, more and more light shines into the night.

🦉 What may look beautiful from a naive point of view has an unpleasant downside and is increasingly becoming a problem for our natural environment. For example, it disrupts our biorhythm, makes it difficult for nocturnal animals to forage and reproduce, misdirects migratory birds and hinders photosynthesis in plants.

✨ And further: we see fewer and fewer stars as a result and thus lose our emotional connection to the small space we occupy in the universe.
On this evening, we want to "illuminate" these aspects with Ben Mirwald from the "Godfathers of the Night" and also talk about where unnecessary sources of light can be found in the private sphere/quarters or even in your own company and which ones you can safely "switch off".

🚶‍♀️ After the talk/workshop, we will take a walk around the neighborhood and see where the lights are on. It's best to bring a friend with you so you can get active right away!
