Five Rivers Lighting promotes the educational and legislative efforts to eliminate light pollution. Light pollution is the glare, light trespass, and up-lighting contributing to sky glow, by unshielded, misplaced, excessive, or unnecessary outdoor night lighting. By eliminating light pollution, we can conserve energy, reduce glare, maintain our desirable community character, safeguard our wildlife in their natural environment, and restore our view of the starry night sky.
