This week on "Voices of Taos," join copy editor and reporter Emery Veilleux as she talks with Galen Gisler, a member of the New Mexico DarkSky State Council. New Mexico DarkSky, which is a chapter of DarkSky International, will advocate during the 2025 legislative session to revamp the 1999 Night Sky Protection Act. Gisler shares with Veilleux why updating the act is essential for preserving NM’s night skies, especially because the older law did not take into account LED technology. He talks about how light pollution can have adverse effects on animals, disturbing migration and hunting habitats. Gisler finally shares how listeners can start conversations with their neighbors who have bright lights and how simple changes to outdoor lighting can help with safety and mitigate light pollution.
