Dark Skies Bottle - Support The International Dark Skies Association

You can help mitigate the effect that night lights have on wildlife (and our planet) by supporting the mission of an organization with our Dark Skies Bottle.

The full-wrap designs on this bottle not only express the beauty to be found in the night skies, but highlights what the International Dark-Sky Association is trying to accomplish — find beams of light from the city below limiting the constellations found above, while a network of stars can be seen above the research facility.

The design also features a series of animals who’s nocturnal lives are negatively impacted by our artificial lighting.

20% of the revenue ($10) from this bottle is donated to theInternational Dark-Sky Association, the leading authority on light pollution and combating it.

We’re going back to the 1980’s with the IDA — the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). This organization has been a leader in protecting the inky night skies from light pollution … and has made significant strides forwards.

While the advent of artificial light has drastically altered what life (and work) looks like outdoors, it has had an impact. Outdoor lighting, used carelessly,  can disrupt wildlife patterns, further to advent of climate change, impact human health, and more, all while limited our view of the universe.

The IDA is committed to protecting the night from light pollution, focused on celebrating the night sky, safeguarding the dark skies we already have, encouraging cities to reduce light pollution by enacting responsible lighting, and slowing, halting, and reversing the hurrying rate of light pollution already present.
