Petition: Urge NYC to Institute a “Lights Out” Policy to Protect Birds from Crashing into Windows

New York City has some of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world, but they can also be deadly for birds. Up to a billion migratory birds are killed yearly in America because disorienting lights from buildings cause them to crash into windows. However, turning off lights at night can drastically reduce these collisions and also help save energy. Please sign this petition to urge lawmakers in New York City to institute a “lights out” policy and help protect birds!
