Neumarkt turns off lights: Earth Night 2024 is coming!
The city of Neumarkt has decided to participate in the upcoming Earth Night 2024, which will take place on September 6, 2024. This special night is a call to everyone to reduce or even turn off outside light. The aim is to take a stand against light pollution, which has increased in recent years. Light pollution refers to the excessive and often unnecessary lighting that not only disrupts the nighttime environment but also has a negative impact on wildlife and human well-being.
In Neumarkt, the lights of the town hall and St. Johannes Minster are switched off during Earth Night. These two striking buildings in the old town are not only architectural highlights, but also symbols of the city's commitment to actively protecting the environment. Citizens are invited to also participate in this campaign by dimming or turning off their own lights at home. It's about creating awareness of the importance of darkness and respecting the peace and quiet of the night.
A symbol for the environment
Earth Night is not just a one-off event, but a step towards a more sustainable use of light resources. Organizers emphasize that the night belongs to nocturnal animals and that people should find peace in the dark. The motto “The night must become darker again” makes it clear that it is time to rethink the waste of light and respect the natural rhythms of nature.
The Earth Night initiative has already received positive feedback in many cities. The city of Neumarkt would like to set an example with its participation and encourage others to also become active.
