For as long as we’ve been human, we’ve looked to the sky to find ourselves. Ever-increasing light pollution threatens not just our sense of identity, but our relationship with the whole biosphere.
I’m 28 years old. My dying wish is to see a clear night sky with no light pollution. I want to see what our ancestors saw every night of their lives. I want to see the arm of the milky way. I want to see space in its entirety.
I’m 28 years old and will probably never get to see any of that in my lifetime. It’s not just a problem future generations have to deal with but current and former.
Take a hiking trip to some remote area on a day with good weather conditions. Bring some warm cloth as these days usually come with cold nights.
It’s definitely not impossible to see a night-sky like that. I have seen it multiple times in my life. But yeah, it requires some preparation and travelling these days.

We’re fucking up so bad.
