Idea:

Reduce Outdoors Artificial Lighting & Replace With Warm Le Ds.

Foyers light pollution: Extracts from: 1) The Commission for Dark Skies calls for: " ... No more blue-rich white and/or over-bright lighting until proven safe for humans/ wildlife and adapted so as not to increase skyglow." "Obligatory use of ‘warmer’ and glare-free lighting on roads ..." 2) The EU Commission 2016 paper. "Artificial Light .. has an impact on plants. A new study suggests there could also be broader implications for the interactions of herbivores / pollinators. The study highlights disrupting seasonal light cues with AL has far-reaching effects, including: mismatches in timing with herbivores; altering the development of agricultural crops; inhibiting flowering in wild species; decreasing periods of darkness necessary for plant repair from environmental pollutants; and causing barriers to nocturnal pollinator species."
