Thanks for the insightful and practical article here. It is a good reminder that our small efforts to get involved can make a difference for Mother Earth. This weekend I joined a group of citizen scientists at 5 am who are counting the dead or surviving birds that collide with buildings in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Lights Out (City Name here) is an organization that collects bird kills caused when birds run into lit up sky-rise buildings at night during migration. With this data in hand, building owners are approached and asked to turn off their lights during peak migrations to reduce bird deaths as they fly north or south. So far there are many cities across the US who have responded to this effort to save the birds and have turned off their lights during part of the night in spring and fall. Be hopeful and do something, however small it may seem. http://www.audubon.org/cons...
