80% of the people on earth are not eligible to see the night sky clearly.
Why?
Because light pollution is often disregarded and not taken a lot more focus of.
When people don't take the initiative of letting the darkness breathe, the privilege of getting to see a clear night sky will be missing.
It's time for darkness to breathe.
Jane gives awareness and education about light pollution in order to broaden the understanding of the darkness and the beauty of it.
“There is an infinity waiting
when we turn out the lights”
