Light Pollution & You with Dr. Kevin Adkins

Join us for an engaging evening exploring the often-overlooked issue of light pollution. Led by Dr. Kevin Adkins and co-presenters Jennifer Birriel, Ignacio Birriel, and John Waite, this educational event will feature hands-on activities and a community-focused discussion on how light pollution affects human health and the environment. Learn how reducing excessive nighttime lighting can support better sleep, lower cancer risks, and protect local ecosystems.
