在爱荷华州农村, 詹姆斯·布鲁顿(James Bruton of Des Moines)正在推行黑暗天空法令, 以对抗不断上升的光污染、保护夜间天空、减少能源使用、保护野生动物、促进天文旅游。 James Bruton of Des Moines is pushing for dark sky ordinances in rural Iowa to combat rising light pollution, preserve night skies, cut energy use, protect wildlife, and boost astrotourism. 在来自德克萨斯州青年的满星之夜的启发下, 他提倡负责任的照明, 使用热色、下向、运动激活的灯光 低于3000开尔文。 Inspired by star-filled nights from his youth in Texas, he advocates for responsible lighting—using warm-colored, downward-directed, motion-activated lights below 3000 Kelvin. 这些实践符合黑暗天空国际的准则,目的是在不牺牲安全的情况下减少天花。 These practices, aligned with Dark Sky International’s guidelines, aim to reduce skyglow without sacrificing safety. 虽然轻污染的增长速度快于人口,但Flagstaff、亚利桑那和密苏里千山国家公园等社区获得了国际认可。 While light pollution has grown faster than population, communities like Flagstaff, Arizona, and Missouri’s Thousand Hills State Park have earned international recognition. 布鲁顿认为艾奥瓦也有类似的潜力,因为这些努力可以加强农村的吸引力,支持可持续的经济增长。 Bruton sees similar potential for Iowa, where such efforts could enhance rural appeal and support sustainable economic growth.
