Light Pollution: Living in the Light

Well, there's two types of people in the world and there's: People who love the day and people who love the night (kind of like night owls). Now for the day people, this particular post may be fine with them but, I can't say the same for the night owls.

Imagine living in a city so bright that you can't even tell its night time? Bright enough to be seen by a satellite? Sounds insane right? Not really, it turns out there's over 45 different cities who are living just like that.

Personally, I don't like the idea of living in a city so bright because then I'd get confused with night and day at times. I feel as if it would be more difficult to live in a city like that because you'd never get the lights to stop peering through your window even when you're shutting them closed. It affects me by making me feel that night time is added to the day and we'll have to deal with the countless cars and lights from the downtown area. For me, I like the lights blinking and shining but I don't think I'd like it as much to have it all day and all night.

I think it impacts the world by producing light pollution. See, it can mess with things around the Earth and make animals or even other related things think that it's daytime but it's not. Producing this much light all around the world affects the growth of certain things for people and animals all over. You might not think it but in time it can be a serious problem. Not only is it producing light pollution, it's producing all kinds of pollution to create that light that looks so pretty. Using generators, gas, coal, and other minerals or substances to power this much electricity. It doesn't look like this is headed in the right direction, but that may just be my opinion after all.
