THE DARKNESS MANIFESTO: ON ARTIFICIAL LIGHT AND THE THREAT TO OUR ANCIENT RHYTHM
By Johan Eklöf
Synopsis
How much light is too much light? The Darkness Manifesto urges us to cherish natural darkness for the sake of the environment, our own wellbeing, and all life on earth. As a devoted friend of the night, Johan Eklof encourages us to appreciate natural darkness, its creatures, and its unique benefits. He ponders the beauties of the night sky, traces the paths of light-drunk moths and the dives of keen-eyed owls, and shows us the bioluminescent creatures of the deep oceans. He writes passionately about the domino effect of damage we inflict by keeping the lights on, for humans, light-induced sleep disturbances impact our hormones and weight, and can contribute to mental health problems.Eye-opening and ultimately encouraging, The Darkness Manifesto offers simple steps that can benefit ourselves and the plaet.
