Lights out August-October

We continue to promote and encourage businesses and residents to dim or turn off non-essential lights, aiding in efforts to address light pollution and its impact on the environment.

This voluntary program developed by the National Audubon Society is easy to participate in and has a big bonus: save birds, save energy, save money.

From midnight until dawn on August 15 - October 31 here’s what you can do:

- Turn off exterior lighting (leave security lights on as needed for safety)

- Dim lobby and atrium lighting

- Turn off interior lighting – especially upper floors

“Lights out” programs have been adopted by many cities nationwide and can dramatically reduce the nocturnal collisions birds have with buildings. Contact allison@sustainablestillwater.org with questions.
