Light pollution is an increasing issue that affects the environment, human health, and nocturnal wildlife.
Visitors to the Brežice destination can also contribute to reducing unnecessary light emissions and preserving the natural dark night. Here are a few simple steps everyone can take to help:
1. Use Light Only When Necessary
- If you are staying in a hotel or apartment, turn off outdoor lights at night when they are not needed.
- When using flashlights or lamps outdoors (e.g., while camping), choose directed light and switch it off when not in use.
2. Choose Warm and Low-Intensity Light
- Whenever possible, opt for warm LED lights (3000 K or lower), which have less impact on the environment.
- When using portable lights or decorative lighting, choose energy-efficient versions with lower brightness.
3. Respect Nature and Local Communities
- When driving on rural roads, use high beams only when necessary.
- If exploring the surroundings at night, avoid using strong flashlights that could disturb wildlife and locals.
At the Brežice destination, we are committed to sustainable tourism and responsible light use. Together, we can preserve the dark sky, reduce light pollution, and enhance the quality of life for everyone.
Thank you for being part of the change!
