To combat light pollution, several measures can be implemented:
Use energy-efficient lighting that minimizes glare and reduces light trespass. Install shielded fixtures that direct light downward rather than upward or sideways. Implement lighting ordinances and regulations in urban planning to control the intensity and direction of artificial lighting. Encourage the use of motion sensors and timers to ensure lights are only on when needed. Promote public awareness about the impact of light pollution and the importance of preserving dark skies.
