Save the Night | Be the Solution, Stop Light Pollution
How You Can Help
The only good thing about light pollution is that it is completely reversible!
Support the Passage of Dark-Sky Friendly Legislation and Ordinances
Watch for ways you can help on this front, as we become aware of proposals that you can lobby for or vote for.
Make Sure Your Own Home or Business Property is Dark-Sky Friendly
Follow the Five Principles of Responsible Outdoor Lighting to make sure your home or business property is dark-sky friendly. Close your drapes and shades at night to prevent interior lighting from adding to the light pollution.
Help Educate Others
Let your neighbors, friends, family members and businesses you frequent know about the importance of preserving our dark skies and encourage them to join our dark sky movement.

PLEASE NOTE:
You donation WILL NOT BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. While Nantucket Lights is a nonprofit corporation, it is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization (rather than a 501(c)3)) to allow it to advocate for the adoption of legislation and local ordinances that will help preserve Nantucket's dark skies. Donations to 501(c)(4) organizations are not tax deductible under IRS rules and regulations. We hope you'll still choose to donate!
