Talk on Dark Sky by Dr. Kirt Rusenko

I was invited by Richard Stowe, who happens to be chair of the Lake Worth Tree Board, to attend a presentation by Dr. Kirt  Rusenko on the concept of dark skies. Click here for a link to the International Dark-Sky Association website. There are opportunities for Lake Worth as it looks to its 2020 or 2030 plan to incorporate some of these principles in streetlight replacement and new installations. We can also look to adjust aspects of the city's lighting code contained in the newly approved LDRs. It really is a fascinating topic and has wide-ranging implications - from energy usage, human health and ecology (sea turtle nesting, etc.) If you have time, watch this video series and check out the organization's website.
