About Restoring Darkness
The Restoring Darkness podcast is a vital resource for addressing the growing crisis of LED light pollution and its impacts on human health, wildlife, and the environment. Hosted by Michael Colligan and Mark Baker, the podcast engages experts, advocates, and industry leaders to explore solutions to the challenges posed by the sheer velocity of the adoption of LED lighting technology. While other organizations focus on preserving celestial heritage by protecting starlit skies, Restoring Darkness takes a unique approach by examining light pollution on Earth, assessing its environmental and health consequences, and working to clarify the specific harms so that actionable resolutions can be adopted.
NAILD has long been committed to this issue, not only by fostering awareness but also by providing significant financial support for the podcast’s continued production. The partnership with the Soft Lights Foundation has further enriched the show, bringing additional resources and expertise to advance the conversation on sustainable lighting practices. By combining advocacy, science, and industry insights, Restoring Darkness serves as a crucial platform for educating listeners about the urgent need for harm reduction in LED lighting technologies.
