Excellent! And I'm really glad they mention:

"The excessive lighting isn’t just making it harder to see the stars, it’s
also disrupting circadian rhythm for wildlife and humans alike,
contributing to health issues, including breast cancer, mental health
disorders, and diabetes, according to the American Medical Association."

Also, that they explain the fact that simple changes like shielding can
reduce light pollution significantly.

Well-quoted, Mario!
Thank you!
