[[link removed]]Hi John

The results are in for this year's Star Count with a total of almost 4,000
counts!

We’ve now done the number crunching, and the data shows that, unfortunately,
light pollution is obscuring views of the night sky for the majority of us.

This was a truly nationwide count with results submitted from all over the UK!

Here's a look at the headlines:

* 75% counted stars in areas with the worst three categories of light
pollution.


* 51% counted ten stars or fewer, indicating severe light pollution.


* Just 5% counted more than 30 stars, indicating truly dark skies.

What is clear is urgent action is needed now to reduce light pollution for
people, wildlife and the environment.

We need our elected representatives to stand up for the stars and support our
calls to improve national and local planning policy to tackle light pollution.
But to do that we need you.

If you haven't already, could you spare a minute to email your MP?

Best wishes,
