Poor baby turtles.

One of the reasons I hate living in a big city with lots of casinos is the all the light pollution. Not only is it annoying (have you ever tried taking and exposure of star trails more than half an hour? It's all washed out) it's also dangerous. For people driving late at night it gets in their eyes and makes them crash and die.

Another big problem is places next to an ocean with turtles living in it. When turtles lay their eggs on the beach, the eggs hatch and the baby turtles follow the light, (usually the sun or moon reflecting the on the ocean) but in a city with tons of light pollution the cute, little baby turtles go toward that light instead. And they die. Most of them.

So, do your part to protect the turtles, the drivers, and the astronomers from ANNOYING AND BAD LIGHT POLLUTION!!
