SUMMARY:Webinar:  Floodlights and Fireflies: Environmental sustainability s
 tarts in your front yard.
DESCRIPTION:Insect populations around the world are declining rapidly. But 
 why? While habitat loss\, pesticide use\, and climate change all have some
 thing to do with it\, Dr. Avalon Owens shows in this talk that light pollu
 tion is another important — but too often overlooked — bringer of the 
 insect apocalypse. Light pollution interferes with the development\, movem
 ent\, foraging\, courtship\, and reproduction of diverse insect species\, 
 including many that we know and love to see in our gardens. Fortunately\, 
 light pollution can be cheaply\, easily\, and instantly eliminated. Doing 
 so will help ensure that we live in harmony with our insect friends and ne
 ighbors for generations to come.\nDr. Avalon Owens is a research fellow at
  the Rowland Institute at Harvard. Her research group studies the impact
  of light pollution on organisms and ecosystems\, with a focus on firefly 
 conservation and moth evolution. Avalon holds a B.A. in Integrative Biolog
 y from Harvard University\, an M.S. in Entomology from National Taiwan Uni
 versity\, and a Ph.D. in Biology from Tufts University.\nSign up:  https:
