 Save birds this fall: Participate in the Lights Out Louisville program!
You might know that millions of birds migrate over Louisville every spring and fall. But did you also know that billions of migrating birds are hurt or killed each year in the U.S.—due to artificial light at night pulling them off course or causing them to fly into windows and buildings?
With your help, Lights Out Louisville—a local conservation program sponsored by the Louisville Audubon Society—aims to change that.
The solution is simple, and anyone can be a part of it:
—This September and October, simply do what you can to reduce artificial light at night.
—It’s as easy as turning off nonessential lights—both indoors and outside—and closing blinds, shades, or curtains between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. during these months.
—By reducing artificial nighttime light during the two biggest fall-migration months in our area, we give migrating birds a better chance of surviving their long journeys.
—With a few simple actions, you’ll help save birds—and save money on your electricity bill at the same time!
Visit www.lightsoutlouisville.org/go-lights-out/ for more tips on how you can save migrating birds or to learn more.
If you decide to go Lights Out, you can help Louisville Audubon track the program’s impact across our city: Simply fill out a short form as a resident/homeowner, or on behalf of your business or a commercial facility you own/operate. It takes less than 1 minute, and it costs nothing. Business and commercial supporters will be promoted on the Lights Out Louisville website and on social media.
You can find both forms at www.lightsoutlouisville.org/go-lights-out/.
The Louisville Audubon Society thanks you for choosing to go Lights Out!
