Lichtverschmutzung
(A)  Experten sprechen vom „VERLUST DER NACHT“. Man kann es auch LICHTVERSCHMUTZUNG nennen. Was versteht man darunter? Lichtverschmutzung ist künstliches Licht, das die nächtliche Umwelt aufhellt und den natürlichen Tag- und Nachtrhythmus von Menschen, Tieren und anderen Organismen stört. 
(B)  Es klingt überraschend, aber Lichtverschmutzung ist eine Form der Umweltverschmutzung.  Flora und Fauna sind gleichermaßen betroffen. Wenn Bäume und andere Pflanzen ständig von künstlichem Licht beleuchtet werden, wachsen sie anders und blühen anders als in einer natürlichen Lichtumgebung. 
(C)  Zugvögel verlieren die Orientierung: Ihre Flüge in den Süden dauern länger und kosten somit zu viel Energie. Vögel sind im künstlichen Licht viel aktiver. Sie singen mehr, fressen mehr und sie brüten früher. Das kann bedeuten, dass sie im Frühjahr noch nicht genug Futter finden.
(D)  Insekten werden durch Straßenlaternen magisch angezogen und sterben auf diese Weise zu Tausenden. Sie fehlen dann anderswo, entweder als Nahrungsquelle oder als natürliche Feinde einer anderen Spezies. 
(E)  Wir brauchen dringend Ideen, wie wir dieses PROBLEM ANGEHEN können.

We all want our friends and relatives to be happy, but who is responsible for their care?
Today we read a story about a 95 year old woman in the UK.

Extract: 
We're going to go through a new story today and it begins with anger as a 95 year old (is)  told to take out her bins. Now, I just want to give you some background to this first of all. So, here in the UK, we have to put our bins on the streets for them to be collected and emptied.
So we have large bins, which are referred to as wheelie bins, And we must put those on the street. Depending on your relationship with your neighbours if you live in an apartment block, someone may do this for you. But the council employees, the people who come to empty the bins, will not come upon your property to collect them. They used to. But they don't any more. Depending on the council and depending on their funding, You may be able to request them to help you if you're old or infirm. As money is tight  these days for everyone, more and more councils are refusing to do this. A council is simply a local area government.
 Now we're going to read through a story here about what's happened to a 95 year old. Now, bearing in mind that here in the UK, we don't generally mix with our neighbours unless we know them very well or are related to them.
As I’ve often told you, we view  the Government almost like a mother or father, we expect them to do the things, which perhaps in your country is done by a community.
