Screenshots

  • Illustration of a moonlit night at sea. A full moon casts a pale triangle of light across dark water, and four green sea turtles swim up it towards the shore, with an unlit lighthouse silhouetted on each side. Caption: "With only the help of natural light, like the moon, turtles and their hatchlings have a better chance of surviving and finding the way back to the ocean and their group."
  • Illustration of a dark bedroom at night. A person sleeps under a white duvet in a wooden bed while a pendant lamp beyond the doorway throws pale beams of light across the floor, the bed and the wall above it. Caption: "Artificial light can disturb natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. This can result in sleep deprivation, fatigue, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems."
Write-up

This project is a single scrollytelling page that aims to inform people about the issues that come from light pollution. It focuses on three main areas related to artificial light:

  • How it can disturb sleep and cause health issues in human beings
  • How it can disorient animals that use natural lights to navigate in the wild
  • How it reduces the visibility of the night sky

This was a collaboration with @baxita.
