LightFair Blog: No doubt about it. Our longstanding history of polluting the environment has all but guaranteed a long-term change in average weather conditions that poses an ever-increasing threat to planetary health and wellbeing.
The good news, however, is that while climate change is here to stay, it’s not too late to stem the tide. In fact, scientific research reveals that we can still limit and potentially avert – the worst of its effects, by building climate-resilient communities grounded in evidence-based mitigation and adaptation strategies.

It’s always interesting to hear about different things we could change or do differently to combat climate change or otherwise help the environment. I never thought about the harm that streetlights do, outside of that I can’t see the stars in Pittsburgh like I can at home. It’s interesting that there are ideas for intelligent streetlights, but they still aren’t perfect because of the functionality we need out of them as humans. We really have a long way to go in terms of technology and the environment. A single streetlight that has a vehicle charging station, solar panels, intelligent lighting control, and sustainable construction is pretty impressive to think about, but I can’t even imagine how difficult it would be to implement, and how expensive it would be to implement. Still, these ideas are important to have, and they’re necessary if we want to have a healthy environment for the future.
