Pledge to go lights out!
Every year, millions of birds migrate through Washington under the cover of night, guided by the stars. But excessive and poorly designed artificial lighting can disorient birds, drawing them into dangerous urban areas and greatly increasing the risk of injury and death.
Lights Out Washington is a collaborative effort to reduce these impacts by using light more thoughtfully. Specifically, focusing light when we need it, where we need it, and no brighter than necessary. Small actions, like turning off unnecessary lights at night, can make a meaningful difference for birds and people alike.
