Light pollution deteriorates public health, affects the ecosystem, wastes energy, and, of course, blocks the night sky. Leading the fight against the encroachment of light pollution is the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA).

In this week's show, Bob Gent, president of the IDA's board of directors, provides tips on what you can do to save the night sky.
