Turn off your lights to help them migrate safely.
| Dear Scott,
Have you seen the bird migration forecast? Colorado's about to get a LOT of birds. MILLIONS of birds. Spring migration is approaching its peak, and the birds passing through need your help.
Each year, up to one billion birds are killed as a result of light pollution. You see, most birds migrate at night, and artificial light attracts and disorients them, causing them to collide with buildings or exhaust themselves in confusion.
But a new program is here to help! In partnership with the International Dark-sky Association Colorado chapter and Denver Audubon, we're launching Lights Out Colorado to provide information, resources, and opportunities for helping birds migrate safely through our state.
The easiest way you can help is by turning off your lights by midnight from now until May and shielding outdoor lights to prevent light from being emitted upwards. There are also ways you can make a bigger impact, such as by contacting your local government.
To get started, take the Lights Out Colorado pledge!
