Light pollution disrupts ecosystems and nocturnal wildlife by negatively impacting their physiology. It can also suppress melatonin production in humans exposed to light while sleeping. Sources of light pollution include streetlights, building lighting, and commercial properties using exterior and interior lighting as well as advertising displays. Light pollution can be reduced by shielding lights properly, only using lighting as needed, using energy efficient bulbs, and turning outdoor lights off when not needed or installing motion sensors. Noise pollution stems from transportation systems and construction activities and can harm humans and disturb wildlife. Reducing noise pollution involves turning off electronics and using earplugs.

In disrupting ecosystems, light pollution poses a serious threat in particular to
nocturnal wildlife, having negative impacts on plant and animal physiology.
Disturbance
If humans are exposed to light while sleeping, melatonin production can be
suppressed. Light pollution can be REDUCED! by shielding lights properly, only using light when and where it is needed, only using the amount that is needed, using energy efficient bulbs,
Only turn on outdoor lights when needed or install motion sensors.
