My apologies to everyone who liked and shared this art yesterday. I wasn’t in a good place and ended up deleting the post. In the end, this simple drawing taught me an important lesson and that’s why I’m posting it again. This time, with an open heart. Much love to you all! :)

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades
but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"
so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are
