22、In most situations, light helps us see. But these days humans are using too much of it so that it becomes in fact a kind of pollution.

According to a scientific research, about 2,500 stars can be seen by the human eye. But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big cities, people cannot see the sky full of stars like they did in their childhood.

Light pollution influences (影响) more than that. Research shows that lots of nighttime light has a bad influence on wildlife, too. When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly around until they drop from tiredness. Sea turtles (海龟) need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights. Too much light at night may even influences human health, but scientists are not sure of how it works on human body. They are still learning more.

In order to stop things from going worse, governments and organizations are working to reduce light pollution. Many cities and towns have done something to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use less bright lights.

Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and uninfluenced life, too.
